The Vanguard Growth ETF tracks the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index, which begins with approximately 85% of total U.S. equity market capitalization before selecting constituents based on earnings growth, sales growth and return on assets. The fund holds roughly 160 stocks and maintains an ultra-low expense ratio of 0.04%, among the most competitive in the growth-focused ETF universe.

Technology names represent 63% of the portfolio, with the largest seven growth leaders accounting for 54% of weight. While the fund captures mega-cap innovators driving much of the artificial intelligence revolution, its broader selection pool permits inclusion of mid-cap and under-the-radar growth companies. This combination offers exposure to today’s top revenue and earnings drivers as well as tomorrow’s emerging winners.
