Had You Bought This Magnificent Vanguard ETF at the Start of January, You'd Be Crushing the S&P 500 in 2026
Technology stocks are driving the broader market higher yet again in 2026.
Overview
Despite some recent volatility, the benchmark S&P 500 has returned 10.3% so far in 2026. But had an investor bought the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) on Jan. 1 instead, they would be sitting on a much bigger gain of 23.3%.
The exchange-traded fund (ETF) invests exclusively in stocks from the information technology sector, which is home to several trillion-dollar giants at the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Many of those stocks have consistently outperformed the broader market over the last few years, fueling blistering returns in this Vanguard ETF.

Will the strong returns continue, or are prospective investors now late to the party?
