Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF is used as a core equity allocation for investors seeking a passive, rules-based approach to the growth segment of the U.S. stock market. Managed by Vanguard, it plays a significant role in the ETF landscape as a low-cost vehicle for gaining targeted exposure to large-cap growth companies.
