Transcript

VOOG and VOO are both from Vanguard. Both connected to the S&P 500. Over the last 10 years: VOOG returned 17.65% per year. VOO returned 15.23% per year. On $10,000 held for 10 years that gap is roughly $15,000 more with VOOG. The tradeoff: VOOG is more concentrated and falls harder in bad years. VOOG tracks all 500 companies within the large cap universe. You get a steady, balanced version of the US stock market. VOOG, G stands for growth or might not track stocks the S&P 500 pulls out with the momentum and revenue growth. Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft make up a bigger slice of VOOG than they do of VOO. It's not 500 companies, it's closer to 230 all tilted towards growth. Now let's look at the performance over the last 10 years. VOOG returned about 17.65% per year. VOO returned 15.23% per year. On a $10,000 investment held for 10 years, that difference comes out to $15,000 more with VOOG. But the tradeoff is concentration. VOO has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VOOG charges around 0.07%. Still cheap, but more than double of VOO. And because VOOG is concentrated in growth stocks, when growth gets hit hard, it gets hit harder. I think in 2022 when interest rates rose suddenly, growth stocks took the biggest hit. So who is VOOG for? Someone who already understands that they are concentrated on a concentrated bet on the growth side of the market and can hold steady when that bad year is just getting. If you are just getting started, VOO first. If you don't have VOO and you're considering a growth layer, VOOG is one of the cleaner ways to do it. But remember, holding VOO and VOOG will have a lot of overlap, so I would not recommend doing both. Are you a VOO investor, a VOOG investor, or do you hold something like QQQM or VGT?
