The fund passively provides diverse exposure to information technology stocks in the US, yet it still reflects the concentrated nature of the space. It represents the market well, including more small- and micro-caps than most of the other broad tech sector funds. Definitions of tech differ from fund to fund: the fund includes credit card firms but excludes telecoms. Gaming and internet services companies are also excluded, following a GICS revision in 2018. In all, the fund offers broad, plain-vanilla exposure to the US technology market. The fund diversifies its holdings by applying limits on regulated investment companies using the MSCI 25/50 methodology. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.

VGT Post-Election Year ReturnsVanguard Information Tech ETF ( AMEX:VGT ) tends to consistently perform best in the year following a US Presidential Election. I believe given its track record, VGT could replicate the previous three post-election years. This would put the price at approximately $800 at the end of 2025.
Strategy:
Weekly Chart Looks Breakout StrongAI, interest rate cuts, and the 2024 presidential election in the United States will likely support another steady climb in large cap tech. One year target right around $610 is the measured move from the bottom of this weekly cup and handle to the upside. Any action to that price earlier than a year
