VBK: Small-Cap Growth Leading The Rally, But Risks Growing
US small-cap growth stocks, particularly the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index Fund, have outperformed since mid-April, but I maintain a hold rating due to valuation concerns. VBK has surged over 14% since April 11, outperforming the S&P 500, yet its premium P/E ratio and PEG ratio suggest it's not a bargain. Despite bullish seasonality and impressive recent price action, technical indicators and long-term moving averages hint at a potential pullback or consolidation.

TMFS Vs. VBK: Motley Fool SCG ETF Holding Its Own
The Motley Fool Small-Cap Growth ETF is highly concentrated in four sectors and relies heavily on its top 10 holdings for performance. The Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index Fund ETF offers broader diversification and lower fees but includes a significant portion of mid-cap stocks. Both ETFs have similar CAGRs, but TMFS shows slightly better risk/return ratios since its inception in 2018.

VBK: Why Small-Cap Growth Is Neither Free Nor Filling
US Small-Cap Growth underperforms with low historical and risk-adjusted returns, while being highly correlated to the total US market. Adding US SCG to a diversified portfolio offers no risk reduction and results in worse performance compared to investing solely in the total US market. Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index Fund ETF is more expensive and less liquid than Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF, making it a poor choice.
