Should You Invest in the Vanguard or iShares Technology ETF? It Depends on What You Mean by "Technology."

Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) and iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW) both offer exposure to tech stocks but differ significantly in costs, holdings, and sector definitions. VGT has a lower expense ratio (0.09% vs 0.38%), broader diversification with 310 holdings, and excludes communication stocks like Alphabet. IYW is more concentrated with 139 holdings and includes Alphabet. Both have delivered strong returns, but the choice depends on whether investors want pure-play tech or broader tech exposure.
