The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) offers investors broad exposure to leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies at a very low cost, with an expense ratio of just 0.09%. While not an AI-specific fund, it tracks the information technology sector, which includes many of the world’s biggest AI players such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Broadcom.
About two-thirds of the fund is concentrated in semiconductors and software, meaning its performance is closely tied to the success of a few dominant firms. Compared with AI-focused ETFs like Global X AIQ, which charges 0.68%, VGT’s low fee structure can translate into thousands of dollars in added returns over time.
However, its heavy concentration — nearly 45% in Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple — makes it vulnerable to downturns in those key stocks. Overall, VGT provides a simple, low-cost way for investors to benefit from the AI boom without the challenge of picking individual winners.
Finsum: AI makes up a high percentage of GDP growth and this index fund could take advantage of this growing sector.
