VGT Signal Dashboard

Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT)

VGT tracks the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology 25/50 Index, providing concentrated exposure to the entire U.S. technology sector — from semiconductors and software to hardware and IT services. With a 0.10% expense ratio and over $70B in assets, VGT is the most widely held pure-tech sector ETF.

Top holdings include Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA which together can represent over 40% of the fund. VGT has been one of the best-performing sector ETFs over the past decade driven by the explosive growth of cloud computing, AI, and semiconductor demand.

VGT Composite Score Explained

Technology is the most volatile major sector, meaning VGT can produce extreme composite scores more frequently than diversified ETFs. During the 2022 bear market, VGT dropped over 30% and the composite score reached Extreme Buy territory — preceding a strong multi-year recovery. High scores in VGT warrant serious attention from tech-focused investors.

Tech ETF Comparison

XLK (SPDR) tracks only S&P 500 tech stocks, offering slightly different weighting. FTEC (Fidelity) is the lowest-cost alternative at 0.084%. VGT offers the broadest tech coverage including mid-caps, making it the most comprehensive single-fund tech exposure.

Technical Signals for the Tech Sector

VGT's high-beta nature means it moves significantly further than the S&P 500 in both directions. When VGT drops below all three moving averages with RSI under 30 — a rare combination — the historical forward returns have been exceptional for investors with 3–5 year time horizons.
