VUG ETF: Probably Time To Shed Some Weight (Rating Downgrade)
Large-cap U.S. growth stocks and VUG ETF illustrated robust performance in 2024, but a changing yield curve and altered financial market conditions warrant a reassessment of the ETF's prospects. Our previous support for VUG was based on anticipated lower short-term rates, a steepening yield curve, and strong portfolio-based fundamentals, which largely materialized. Data implies that current economic growth is robust, contributing to rising yields; however, moderating growth is expected in 2025 alongside higher interest rates.

3 Reasons Why VUG Could Disappoint In 2025
VUG invests in large-cap growth stocks, with an expense ratio of 0.04% and a competitive Sharpe ratio compared to its peers. VUG's composition is similar to the Nasdaq 100, with a high exposure to technology. In my opinion, there are more efficient solutions in the market that track this benchmark. It has a P/E ratio of 40x, higher than the average, reflecting a very high expected EPS growth rate, which could decline with the new monetary policy forecasts.
