Vanguard’s top ETFs reveal stark contrasts in today’s volatile markets
Choosing the right Vanguard fund has become even more critical in today’s uncertain markets. Among the firm’s 100-plus ETFs, some stand out for their performance—or lack of it. While the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) faces warnings over volatility, the Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF (VWOB) is gaining attention for its steady income and resilience.
VGT, one of Vanguard’s largest sector-specific funds, is currently deemed too risky for new investments. It holds the title of the most volatile among the firm’s top 10 ETFs by assets, with a beta of 1.3. High valuations in the tech sector and near-record market levels have led analysts to avoid adding more shares.
VGT’s high volatility and stretched valuations make it a less attractive choice right now. In contrast, VWOB’s income potential and relative stability position it as a preferred option for cautious investors. The difference highlights how fund selection can shape outcomes in an unpredictable market.
