Absolutely! Both VUG and SCHG are strong growth ETFs. Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into either over the long term is a great strategy to build wealth while minimizing risk. Consistency is key!
I had SCHG for a while and sold out of it. I honestly didn't like it. It grows unbelievably slow. Since the start of the year, its share price has only gone up about $20. Which for a "growth" etf, that's horrible. People forget that Volume matters too. Switched to VGT because the majority of the growth in these growth etfs are coming from technology anyway. VGT and VOO is a rock solid combination. I've experienced way larger returns.
Thanks for sharing your experience! VGT and VOO are indeed excellent choices, especially if you're seeking stronger tech exposure and more consistent returns compared to SCHG
Why SCHG has lower beta and higher 10 year CAGR than VUG? Is it because it has a higher exposure to healthcare than VUG? How you would treat them equal when SCHG has almost 50% higher return over 30 year hold period. Just a curiosity question. I am aware at a broader level they are all one and the same - growth ETFs.
SCHG’s lower beta and higher 10-year CAGR compared to VUG likely result from differences in sector allocation. SCHG has a slightly higher allocation to sectors like healthcare, which tends to be more stable and less volatile than tech-heavy growth sectors. This can contribute to a lower beta. Over time, healthcare’s stability paired with growth sectors boosts returns, leading to that 50% higher performance over 30 years. While both SCHG and VUG are growth ETFs, these subtle allocation differences make SCHG more balanced in risk and reward
They are both good ETFs. Just pick one and DCA long term.
