Growth ETFs are perfect if you want higher potential returns and can handle the ups and downs that come with it.
Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) is my primary growth pick.
VUG owns 185 large-cap growth companies—businesses growing earnings faster than the overall market.
Their expense ratio is 0.04% (meaning if you invest $10,000, you pay only $4 per year in fees—extremely cheap).
Their top holdings are Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Google, Tesla (which makes sense).
The key difference between them and the S&P 100 is they don't include the other 94 stocks like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and Walmart (which provide more stability but slower growth).
In VUG, you're overweighting specifically the growth companies.
You're saying "I believe in technology and innovation, and I want concentrated exposure to that theme."
So here's the trade-off:
VUG is more volatile.
When markets rally, it outperforms.
When markets crash, it drops harder than the S&P 100.
That's why you don't put 100% of your portfolio into VUG.
It's your growth sleeve, not your whole strategy.
Here's what I'd recommend:
- Under 35: Up to 50% in growth
- Over 50: Maybe 20-30%
VUG gives you growth across multiple sectors—tech, consumer (Amazon), healthcare, communication.
Another great growth ETF is VGT, which is the Vanguard Information Technology ETF.
It has a 0.09% expense ratio and focuses purely on tech companies—more concentrated, more risk.
I prefer VUG because it gives you growth across multiple sectors, not just tech.

This is just one of the ETFs I covered in my 22-minute video on ETFs that beats the S&P 500.
I also covered how the S&P 500 is dangerously concentrated in 10 companies, which growth ETFs outperform during rate cuts, and why dividend ETFs exclude the best-performing stocks.
Just comment "ETF" and I'll DM it into your inbox in the next few minutes.

@money_crunchr Do you have any thoughts on young high earners in 32% tax? Make sense to do pretax contribution first?

@money_cruncher I agree, and take your suggestion to buying Vanguard funds.

One thing I dislike about Fidelity is how expensive their MMFs are.
For example:
$SPAXX - expense of 0.42%, net yield 3.62%
$FDLXX - expense of 0.42%, yield of 3.54%
But Vanguard has:
$VMFXX - expense of 0.11%, yield of 3.75%
$VUSXX - expense of 0.07%, yield of 3.83%
That’s why I keep my cash in Vanguard’s MMF.
