US large-cap growth stocks, particularly the Russell 1000 Growth Index, are in correction territory, with the "Lag 7" stocks all down year-to-date.

SCHG and VUG are both strong ETF options for tech exposure, with SCHG slightly outperforming VUG historically due to its top holdings. Both ETFs have low expense ratios and impressive dividend growth, making them suitable for long-term investors bullish on tech.
