About VRTGX

Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund Institutional Shares is an index-tracking mutual fund designed to capture the performance of small-capitalization growth stocks in the United States. The fund seeks to mirror the return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, a widely recognized benchmark that specifically measures the segment of U.S. stocks characterized by smaller market capitalizations and above-average growth potential. Through a passively managed, full-replication strategy, the fund invests in nearly all the securities within the index, spanning sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, consumer cyclical, and consumer defensive. Targeted primarily at institutional investors, the fund offers a low expense ratio and a high level of diversification across the small-cap growth landscape, making it a key vehicle for those seeking exposure to this dynamic sector. Its approach provides broad access to emerging and innovative companies that are believed to be at earlier stages of their growth cycles, reflecting the evolving nature and potential volatility inherent in the small-cap growth segment.
