This Is the Best-Performing Vanguard ETF This Year. Will It Be a Winner in 2025?

Through Nov. 21, the S&P 500 is up 24.7% year to date, led by big tech stocks like the "Magnificent Seven" as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be the dominant narrative on the stock market. Given that, you might expect the top-performing Vanguard exchange-traded fund (ETF) to hail from the tech sector. After all, Nvidia stock has roughly tripled this year, but the Nasdaq Composite is only slightly outperforming the S&P 500 with a gain of 26.4% and the popular Nasdaq-100 has underperformed the broad-market index with a return of 23.3%.
