VGT remains my go‑to for my kids’ portfolios

When thinking about their financial future, the author doesn’t worry about whether his kids know stock tickers — but he does care that they’ll grow up owning pieces of tomorrow. That’s why he keeps buying shares of Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) for their custodial accounts. VGT holds more than 300 companies in the tech sector, with its largest positions in Nvidia (≈18%), Apple (≈14%), and Microsoft (≈13%) — firms leading the charge in AI, cloud computing, semiconductors and software. What appeals most is that VGT automatically rebalances: as companies grow or shrink, the fund simply shifts exposure accordingly — so the investor doesn’t have to guess which firms will dominate next decade. The low cost matters too: with an expense ratio of just 0.09%, every dollar invested has more potential to compound over decades, instead of being eaten by fees. Yes — VGT is more concentrated than a broad market fund (its top three holdings account for almost half the portfolio), which means volatility can be higher. But for a long‑term horizon — say 10–15 years or more — that trade‑off seems reasonable to the author. In short, VGT offers a low‑cost, diversified gateway to the companies likely to shape the world in the 2030s and beyond. Investing now could give his kids front‑row seats to the next tech revolution — whether they appreciate it today or not. #VGT #TechETF #LongTermInvesting #AIStocks #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
