Vanguard Information Technology ETF VGT

Vanguard Information Technology ETF is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by Vanguard, classified by Morningstar as Technology and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 26 January 2004. It is listed on NYSE Arca in USD under the ticker VGT, ISIN VGT.

It belongs to the sector and thematic family. Sector products focus on one industry (technology, healthcare, energy, banking) and thematic ones on a trend (robotics, water, semiconductors). They're far more concentrated bets than a global index.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The investment seeks to track the performance of the MSCI U.S. Investable Market Index/Information Technology 25/50. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the index, an index made up of stocks of large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the information technology sector, as classified under the GICS. The Advisor attempts to replicate the target index by seeking to invest all of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, in order to hold each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. It is non-diversified.

Financial Times

By concentrating on one sector, these products overlap with what you already hold in a global fund and amplify that weight without it being obvious. Seeing what they are worth next to your total net worth is exactly what saves you the surprise.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.
