Here's What $5,000 in Vanguard's Tech ETF Could Be Worth by 2030

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has gained ~23% annually over the past decade, but analyst Daniel Sparks estimates a more modest 12% annual return through 2030, projecting $5,000 invested today could grow to ~$8,000. The fund is heavily concentrated in semiconductors (40%+ of holdings) and dominated by Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft (45% combined), with valuations at a premium to the broader market. While the three largest holdings show strong earnings growth, the cyclical nature of chip stocks and elevated valuations suggest caution.
