Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund

$118.80-0.83% today
10180952-WK

The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Index/Information Technology 25/50, an index made up of stocks of large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the information technology sector, as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard. The Advisor attempts to replicate the target index by seeking to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, in order to hold each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. It is non-diversified.

The case against VGT

Due diligence cuts both ways. These funds sit on the same shelf and beat VGT on at least one dimension that matters — the fee, the asset base, or where the money is going.
