3 Reasons Why VUG Could Disappoint In 2025
VUG invests in large-cap growth stocks, with an expense ratio of 0.04% and a competitive Sharpe ratio compared to its peers. VUG's composition is similar to the Nasdaq 100, with a high exposure to technology. In my opinion, there are more efficient solutions in the market that track this benchmark. It has a P/E ratio of 40x, higher than the average, reflecting a very high expected EPS growth rate, which could decline with the new monetary policy forecasts.
