In this video I discuss the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT). VGT is a big favorite for many investors as has outperformed QQQ and nearly all sector ETFs over the past few years. It’s performed beautifully during the past decade and it’s the ETF I chose as my favorite Tech Sector ETF. In this video I compare VGT to The Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLK). I noticed that since early 2018 XLK has been outperforming VGT. So what is happening? I break it all down in this video.
