VOOG: The Quiet Performer In A Noisy Growth ETF Market

  • The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund ETF is less popular than peers due to later inception and lower AUM, but this is not a red flag for long-term investors. Performance is solid, with VOOG showing defensive traits during downturns and only marginal underperformance in bull runs versus more aggressive growth ETFs. Concentration risk is notable, with top holdings driving returns, but this is a common feature across growth ETFs today.
