2 Unstoppable Vanguard ETFs That Can Help You Beat the S&P 500 Over the Long Term
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is trading at an all-time high on the back of its 11.8% gain this year so far. It adds to a lengthy track record of success for the index, which has delivered a compound annual total return, i.e., with dividends reinvested, of 10.4% since it was launched on March 4, 1957.
One of the safest ways to invest in the stock market is to purchase shares in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that closely tracks the performance of the S&P 500. However, ETF issuers, like Vanguard, also offer a broad selection of funds to suit investors with a higher appetite for risk.
Some of them have a proven track record of beating the S&P 500 over a long period of time, because they are heavily weighted to top-performing sectors like technology. Here's why the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VOOG) and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) could help investors outperform the market going forward.
