Stop Buying VOO Buy This Vanguard ETF Instead? (2026)

Here's my channel with all my content: https://harrysfinancial.com/r/sub
VOO vs VOOG: the Vanguard ETF choice that could change your long-term returns.
VOO is the “default” S&P 500 pick — but VOOG (Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF) uses a growth filter that has historically beaten VOO in many past periods… with a much rougher ride in down markets.
In this video, I break down:
• How VOO and VOOG are built (broad index vs growth-screened S&P 500)
• Why VOOG can outperform — and why it can also drop harder in crashes
• The trade-off: diversification + dividend yield (VOO) vs concentration + growth potential (VOOG)
• A simple framework to choose based on time horizon, risk tolerance, and tech exposure
• A practical “blend” idea (VOO core + VOOG satellite) for balanced growth
Quick disclaimer: I’m not a financial advisor. This is for educational purposes only — always do your own research.
Which would you pick: market-average stability (VOO) or higher-volatility growth (VOOG)? Drop a comment, and if you want more ETF breakdowns, hit like and subscribe.
