Is the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) the Right Fit for Your Portfolio?

The Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) tracks large-cap growth stocks and has delivered strong returns of approximately 18% annually over the past decade, outperforming the S&P 500. With a minimal expense ratio of 0.03%, it holds the same top 10 stocks as the S&P 500 index but with greater weightings, including all seven 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks. However, growth stocks are more volatile and tend to fall harder during market corrections.
