Large Caps vs Pure Tech Plays

SCHG is a bet on large caps: growth-heavy but diversified across sectors—it's not just tech. While it definitely leans tech (over 58% in its top 10 holdings), you also get exposure to healthcare, industrials, consumer goods, and other growth sectors. SCHG tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Index with about 500 holdings, making it less concentrated than VGT. The expense ratio is cheaper at 0.04%.

VGT is a bet on tech: nearly 98% allocated to the technology sector, tracking the MSCI US Information Technology Index with around 318 holdings of software, semiconductors, and hardware companies. The top 10 holdings make up about 54% of the fund, and you're getting mega exposure to companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft.

Here is why I'm leaning toward tech.
