According to CoinMeta, Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF ( NASDAQ : VONG ) and Vanguard Morningstar Small - Cap Growth ETF ( NYSEMKT : VBK ) are of great interest in terms of investment value in 2026. VONG focuses heavily on large technology companies, while VBK offers a diversified portfolio of small growth companies at slightly lower fees. Although VONG has performed exceptionally well over the past five years with annualized returns of 19.2%, 11.8%, and 17.4%, respectively, VBK has performed outstandingly in 2026, rising by 21% since the beginning of the year. Considering the growth potential of small-cap stocks, VBK may be a better choice for 2026.
