Comparison of ETFs: The Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG) offers lower fees and stronger recent returns compared to the iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO), which provides broader small-cap growth exposure and a modestly higher yield.
Focus and Holdings: VONG targets large-cap growth stocks with a significant concentration in technology (54%), while IWO focuses on small-cap growth stocks with a more diversified portfolio across various sectors, including technology (25%), healthcare (22%), and industrials (21%).
Performance Metrics: VONG has a lower expense ratio (0.07%) and has outperformed IWO in one- and five-year total returns, but its heavy reliance on a few large tech stocks increases risk and limits diversification.
Investment Considerations: Choosing between VONG and IWO depends on whether an investor prefers large-cap growth or small-cap diversification, as both ETFs have unique strengths and potential risks associated with their respective focuses.
