Investors typically use the S&P 500 as a benchmark for “the market,” given that it tracks roughly 500 of the largest U.S. companies. Through the first three months of the year, the S&P 500 fell 4.6%, while the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG)—focused on large-cap growth stocks—declined by nearly 10.5%. Despite the weaker start, VUG’s long-term record has been strong.
VUG is not officially a technology ETF, but its growth mandate makes it heavily tech-oriented. The tech sector accounts for nearly 65% of VUG, compared with just over 16% for the next-largest sector, consumer discretionary.
That concentration has hurt performance this year, but it has generally supported VUG over time. Since launching in January 2004, VUG has outperformed the S&P 500 consistently, rising 792% versus the index’s 469% over the same period. VUG has also delivered better returns in 17 of the ETF’s 22 years.

In the near term, VUG is notably top-heavy. Nvidia and Apple alone account for over a quarter of the ETF, and the “Magnificent Seven” stocks make up over 56% of VUG. For a 151-stock ETF, that level of concentration is high and can increase sensitivity to performance in a small group of large holdings.
When the tech sector is not performing well, VUG has tended to underperform the broader market. However, the ETF’s long-run appeal is tied to growth investing and the expectation that many technology industries remain early in their development cycle. The article points to areas such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, fintech, quantum computing, and potential breakthroughs associated with the AI boom.
Because many of these leading companies are also included in the S&P 500, VUG’s performance is likely to benefit as both the index and its major constituents continue to grow.
