Interested in AI Stocks? Here's Why One Popular Vanguard Tech ETF Might Not Be a Good Choice.
The Motley Fool· 2026-01-31 05:45
Core Viewpoint - The Vanguard Information Technology ETF has significantly outperformed the market over the past decade, primarily driven by the AI boom, but it lacks exposure to key companies in the AI sector, making it potentially less attractive for investors seeking broad AI stock exposure [1][2]. Group 1: ETF Performance and Composition - The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has increased by approximately 670% over the past decade, compared to a 270% gain for the S&P 500 [1]. - The ETF tracks the MSCI US IMI Information Technology 25/50 index and holds stakes in 320 companies, with nearly 59% of its value concentrated in the top 10 holdings [3]. - The top three holdings—Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft—account for nearly 45% of the ETF's assets, indicating a high concentration risk [4]. Group 2: Missing Key Companies - The ETF does not include major players in the AI ecosystem such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms, which are classified in different sectors [5][6]. - Alphabet and Meta are categorized under the communication services sector, while Amazon falls under consumer discretionary, thus excluding them from the ETF's holdings [6]. - The absence of these companies is significant as Amazon and Alphabet are two of the largest cloud infrastructure providers, holding market shares of 29% and 13%, respectively, which are crucial for AI model training and operation [7]. Group 3: Implications of Missing Companies - The exclusion of Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta from the ETF limits its exposure to the AI megatrend, as these companies play vital roles in cloud services and AI development [8].
