Description: VUG Growth Shares January 26, 2026
The Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (VUG) seeks to mirror a broad U.S. large-cap growth index by holding the constituent stocks in roughly the same weights as the index, thereby providing investors with exposure to the performance of large-cap growth companies through a low-cost, passively managed vehicle.
As of January 2026, VUG carries an expense ratio of 0.04% and manages approximately $72 billion in assets. Its top five holdings are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and Alphabet, together accounting for about 30% of the portfolio. Sector allocation is heavily weighted toward technology (≈ 45%), followed by consumer discretionary (≈ 20%) and health care (≈ 15%). The fund’s 30-day SEC yield sits at 0.85%, and its year-to-date total return is roughly 12%, reflecting continued earnings growth in the tech sector amid a stable macro-environment of modest GDP expansion and gradually easing inflation.
