Episode Synopsis
Vanguard VGT: 33% in NVDA, AAPL, MSFT – Risky? 10/31/25
Key Stories:
Folks, let’s dive straight into the world of exchange-traded funds, specifically the Vanguard Information Technology ETF, known by its ticker VGT. This ultra-low-cost fund has seen remarkable performance, but a recent deep dive reveals a highly specific reason for its ascent, which some analysts suggest might be a cause for at least a little caution. A whopping 33% of this ETF’s assets are concentrated in just three tech behemoths: Nvidia, the chipmaking titan; Apple, the iPhone and consumer electronics powerhouse; and Microsoft, the software and cloud computing giant. While these companies have undeniably been market darlings, driving significant gains for VGT, this heavy concentration means that investors in this ETF are essentially making a substantial bet on the continued stellar performance of these few mega-cap names. It’s a reminder that even diversified funds can carry significant single-stock or sector-specific risk, and savvy investors should be aware of this concentration when assessing their overall portfolio balance.
