Vanguard Information Technology ETFVGT Fund Description
VGT tracks a market-cap-weighted index of information technology companies.
VGT Factset Analytics Insight
VGT is one of the most diverse market-cap-weighted technology ETFs available, yet it still reflects the concentrated nature of the space. It represents the market well, including more small- and micro-caps than most of the other broad tech sector funds while still managing to keep all-in costs extremely low. Definitions of “tech” differ from fund to fund: VGT includes credit card firms but excludes telecoms. Gaming and internet services companies were moved to sibling VOX following a GICS revision in 2018. (Note that Fidelity’s FTEC tracks a nearly identical index). VGT reliably delivers the returns of its underlying index. What's more, it's is one of the largest and most liquid funds in its segment, making it easy to trade both small and large positions at will. For investors who want broad, plain-vanilla exposure to the US technology market at low cost, VGT gets it done.From May 3 to December 3, 2018, VGT tracked a transitional version of it index that incrementally removed exposure to reclassified companies.
