Vanguard Tech ETF VGT Jumps 20% This Year, Reaches $146.5 Billion in Assets

The low‑turnover, index‑tracking fund suits long‑term, tech‑bullish investors comfortable with sector swings.

Overview

  • VGT mirrors the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology 25/50 Index using a full‑replication approach.
  • With $146.5 billion in assets, the fund ranks 15th among all ETFs and offers deep trading liquidity.
  • The ETF is up 20.2% year to date, reflecting strong recent momentum in large U.S. technology names.
  • Long‑term performance remains robust, with a 10‑year annualized return of 24.09% despite periods of volatility.
  • Costs run 0.9% per year, and its low‑turnover structure has kept capital‑gains payouts rare for investors in taxable accounts.
