Prediction: This Spectacular Vanguard ETF Will Beat the S&P 500 (Again) in 2026
2026-01-13 09:10:00 ET
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is a stock market index made up of 500 companies from 11 different sectors of the economy. It climbed 17% in 2025, which was comfortably above its long-term average annual return of 10.6% dating back to when it was established in 1957.
But then there is the S&P 500 Growth index, which exclusively holds 216 of the best-performing growth stocks from the regular S&P 500 and disregards the rest that might not perform as well. This unique portfolio composition propelled the index to a 21% return last year.
The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VOOG) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the Growth index, and it has beaten the S&P 500 every year since its inception. Here's why I predict it will outperform again in 2026.
