This Vanguard ETF Is Built for a Market That's Finally Rotating Away From Big Tech
As the megacap tech trade sputters, one attractive fund already owns what's leading instead -- and it's beating the market this year.
Overview
For most of the past decade, the simplest way to make money in stocks was to buy the biggest technology companies and hold on. In 2026, however, that approach has largely stopped working. The seven megacap names often lumped together as the "Magnificent Seven" have lagged as a group this year, and investors have been pulling money out of crowded growth stocks and into value names, dividend payers, and old-economy corners of the market like energy, industrials, and financials.
So if this rotation has staying power, which low-cost fund is actually built to capture it?
Details
One idea is the Vanguard Value ETF (NYSEMKT: VTV). It holds more than 300 large-cap value stocks for an expense ratio of just 0.03% -- about $3 a year on a $10,000 investment. With around $179 billion in assets, it's one of the largest and cheapest ways to own a part of the market that's leading right now.
