Overview
- VOOG and MGK both charge 0.07%, but VOOG’s wider portfolio (~217 stocks) and lower tech weight (~44%) delivered a slightly higher 1‑year return than MGK’s concentrated basket (~66 holdings, heavier tech tilt).
- MGK carries larger positions in Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft than VOOG, increasing sensitivity to mega‑cap swings and contributing to higher historical volatility and a deeper five‑year drawdown.
- VUG offers far greater scale and liquidity than VOOG with a lower 0.04% expense ratio, though it has shown slightly higher volatility and a deeper five‑year drawdown despite similar top holdings.
- Compared with MGK, QQQ is more liquid and more diversified by holdings (about 101) but costs more at 0.20%; recent 1‑year returns for the two funds were nearly identical and QQQ’s yield was modestly higher.
- Parallel coverage highlights dividend and value ETFs such as SCHD, VIG, and VTV as potential complements or defensive options if leadership shifts away from mega‑cap technology.
