Overview
- A Motley Fool piece syndicated by Yahoo Finance advises avoiding the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) in December despite its strong 2025 run.
- VGT tracks the U.S. information technology sector and holds 314 companies across areas such as semiconductors, software and hardware.
- The fund is market‑cap weighted, with Nvidia at 18.18%, Apple at 14.29% and Microsoft at 12.93%, totaling more than 45% of the portfolio as of Dec. 1.
- The article notes VGT is up nearly 21% year to date through November, outpacing the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, with AI gains cited as a major driver.
- As a comparison, the piece points to Invesco QQQ, which holds the same mega‑caps at lower combined weight and has delivered similar performance this year.
