Large-Cap, Growth, Equity, Index, ETF
Description: VUG Vanguard Growth Shares
The Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE ARCA: VUG) follows a passive indexing strategy that seeks to mirror the performance of a broad U.S. large-cap growth benchmark. The fund holds, or nearly holds, the constituent stocks of the target index in proportion to their index weights, thereby delivering exposure to large-cap growth companies with minimal tracking error.
Key metrics as of the latest reporting period include an expense ratio of 0.04 % (one of the lowest in the large-growth space), total assets under management of roughly $80 billion, and a top-sector allocation of about 45 % to Information Technology, followed by Consumer Discretionary and Health Care. The fund’s performance is closely tied to macro drivers such as U.S. earnings growth, monetary-policy stance, and the pace of technology adoption, which historically boost the earnings multiples of growth-oriented firms.
