About Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF
This exchange-traded fund (ETF) is designed to mirror the investment performance of the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index. It provides investors with a straightforward avenue to gain exposure to a broad spectrum of America's leading growth-oriented enterprises. The fund operates on a passively managed basis, utilizing a full-replication methodology to meticulously track its benchmark index. For approximately 75% of its total holdings, the fund adheres to strict concentration guidelines: it is generally prohibited from purchasing more than 10% of the voting shares of any single issuer or allowing its investment in any one issuer to exceed 5% of its overall assets. However, these limits may be adjusted if necessary to closely match the composition of its target index, and they do not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or its associated agencies.
