Vanguard Tech ETF (VGT) vs. iShares Tech ETF (IYW): Which Offers Better Value for Investors?
Both funds concentrate heavily in Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, but diverge sharply on costs and risk exposure over five years.
Overview
The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT:VGT) and the iShares U.S. Technology ETF (NYSEMKT:IYW) both provide concentrated exposure to the U.S. tech sector.
While both are dominated by the same three massive growth names, their diversification and cost structures may lead investors to prefer one over the other for tech exposure.
