7 of Vanguard's 11 Sector ETFs Are Crushing the S&P 500 in 2026. Here's My Favorite to Buy in March.
2026-03-03 15:05:00 ET
Investment management firm Vanguard offers exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that mirror the performance of all 11 stock market sectors. These ETFs feature low expense ratios -- providing an inexpensive way to invest in a diversified portfolio of sector-specific stocks.
In 2025, just three stock market sectors outperformed the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) -- communications, tech, and industrials. Many of the worst-performing sectors last year are leading the pack in 2026 -- with energy, materials, consumer staples, industrials, and utilities all up 10% or more, and real estate and healthcare also outperforming the S&P 500.
Here's why the Vanguard Utilities ETF (NYSEMKT: VPU) is my top sector fund to buy in March.
