About VUG

This exchange-traded fund (ETF) is designed to mirror the investment performance of the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index. It provides investors with a straightforward avenue to gain exposure to a broad spectrum of America's leading growth-oriented enterprises. The fund operates on a passively managed basis, utilizing a full-replication methodology to meticulously track its benchmark index. For approximately 75% of its total holdings, the fund adheres to strict concentration guidelines: it is generally prohibited from purchasing more than 10% of the voting shares of any single issuer or allowing its investment in any one issuer to exceed 5% of its overall assets. However, these limits may be adjusted if necessary to closely match the composition of its target index, and they do not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or its associated agencies.

  • VUG has a fairly diversified holdings footprint, with 152 positions in the latest imported dataset.
  • The largest disclosed position is NVDA at 13.31% of the portfolio.
  • The top three disclosed holdings make up 34.73% of the portfolio, and the top ten add up to 63.87%.
  • Sector labels are limited in the visible top holdings, so the biggest positions matter more than sector buckets here.
  • VUG currently appears in 64 active ETF comparison pages on this site.

What Stands Out About VUG

01

Portfolio Shape

The disclosed top holdings suggest a more concentrated portfolio than a plain broad-market fund. NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT account for much of the visible weight, with the top three at 34.73% and the top ten at 63.87%. Sector labels are limited in the visible top holdings, so the concentration read is driven mainly by the largest names themselves.

02

What Kind Of Overlap To Expect

VUG should show the most meaningful overlap with adjacent style, factor, or dividend funds that own similar large positions. Comparisons against broader market or international ETFs will usually look more differentiated. That makes overlap checks useful before stacking multiple factor tilts that may still share the same core names.

03

When Investors Compare It

On this site, investors often compare VUG with VOO, VTI, and QQQ. Those matchups usually answer a simple question: does adding this fund create a different sleeve, or does it mostly duplicate exposure you already own? VUG currently connects to 64 live comparison pages.

Visible Sector Mix
