2026-03-02 14:31:11 ET
The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT:MGK) and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:IVV) differ most sharply on sector exposure, diversification, and income, with IVV offering broader coverage and a higher yield at a slightly lower cost.
Both MGK and IVV track large-cap U.S. equities, but while MGK focuses tightly on mega-cap growth stocks, IVV mirrors the entire S&P 500 . This comparison looks at cost, performance, risk, portfolio makeup, and trading characteristics to help investors decide which may better align with their goals.
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months.
