About VMGAX
Vanguard Mega Cap Growth Index Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Mega Cap Growth Index, providing diversified exposure to the largest growth-oriented companies in the United States. The fund utilizes a market-capitalization-weighted approach, which means holdings are proportionally sized according to their market value—giving greater influence to the largest companies in the portfolio. As a result, technology giants such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple often command significant positions within the fund, with the top holdings collectively making up a substantial portion of assets. This structure allows the fund to closely mirror the movements and returns of the U.S. large-cap growth segment, which is known for its potential for rapid earnings expansion and innovation-driven performance. Tailored primarily for institutional investors, it features a low expense ratio and a high minimum investment threshold, reinforcing its suitability for large-scale portfolios. The fund plays a pivotal role for investors seeking efficient, low-cost access to the nation's leading mega-cap growth companies within a single vehicle.
