Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG)
The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to track the investment results of the S&P 500 Growth Index. The index is designed to measure the performance of large-cap U.S. companies with considerable growth potential, which means that they tend to focus on companies that are expected to grow faster than the overall market. These companies may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions and are generally considered to be riskier than other companies.
The VOOG ETF was launched on September 7, 2010, and is managed by Vanguard. It has a relatively low expense ratio of 0.10%, which might be suitable for investors looking for a low-cost way to gain exposure to the U.S. stock market and who have a higher tolerance for risk.
