What matters in this story

1
The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG) has outperformed the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK) over the 3-year and 5-year periods. — Historical performance data suggests a slight preference for broader growth diversification over extreme mega-cap concentration.
+0.10
2
MGK is more concentrated than VOOG, with two-thirds of its assets allocated to its top 10 holdings. — Higher concentration increases the fund's sensitivity to the volatility of a few top-tier tech stocks.
+0.05
3
VOOG offers a higher trailing-12-month dividend yield (0.50%) compared to MGK (0.30%). — While a difference in yield, the absolute values are too low to significantly move broader market risk appetite.
