- VUG and VTI share a lot of the same holdings, but in different proportions.
- We think that for the long-term investor, VUG is the better exposure due to a couple of principled thoughts.
- The VTI is a mimic of the market, and the forces directing the market have changed very meaningfully, therefore it is better to make a departure from the status quo.
- VUG is still very safe, but makes a more concentrated bet on companies that are more like life's institutions, and will have staying power in negative economic scenarios.
- VUG is the better buy in our view, as a bet on growth is more agnostic to economic headwinds.
