U.S. Large Cap Growth, as represented by VUG, has underperformed Value over the long term in both total return and risk-adjusted metrics. VUG's concentrated exposure to mega-cap tech increases volatility, drawdown risk, and structural fragility compared to broader ETFs like VOO or VTV. Historical data shows Value's outperformance is more consistent and durable, while Growth's leadership is cyclical and prone to sharp reversals.
