If I Could Only Own 1 ETF for the Next 20 Years, Here's Exactly What I'd Pick and Why

The author argues that for a 20-year investment horizon, the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) is the optimal single ETF choice due to its aggressive growth potential, broad diversification across 318 tech stocks, and superior 17% average annualized returns over the past 20 years compared to other tech ETFs. The fund's low 0.09% expense ratio and exposure to the technology sector—which has driven market performance for 40+ years—make it preferable to broader index funds like the S&P 500 for long-term investors with higher risk tolerance.
