"The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has consistently outperformed the S&P 500, delivering a 22.6% annualized return over the past decade compared to the S&P's 13.2%."
"VGT's reliance on a few mega-cap tech stocks creates significant risks, especially as the broader market shows signs of volatility."
"VGT's top 10 companies account for over 60% of its assets, emphasizing the risks of heavy concentration in a narrow market rally."
"Regulatory scrutiny, high valuations, and sector-specific risks like supply chain disruptions contribute to VGT's status as a potentially risky investment."
Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has generated a 22.6% annualized return over the past decade, exceeding the S&P 500's 13.2%. Year-to-date in 2025, VGT reports an 18.1% return, benefitting from a focus on technology and AI-driven stocks. However, its heavy concentration in a few mega-cap stocks, which make up over 60% of its assets, raises concerns about volatility. Climbing valuations, regulatory scrutiny, and supply chain issues further increase the investment risk associated with VGT, making it a tempting yet precarious choice.
