Active Approach and Sector Mix

The manager selects large U.S. growth securities, aiming to hold at least 80 per cent of Assets in qualifying growth companies. Unlike the Index Funds in the Vanguard range, the portfolio reflects the manager's stock-by-stock decisions rather than market-cap weights.

Technology accounts for 72.60 per cent of the portfolio, well above the benchmark's 70.20 per cent. Health care at 8.00 per cent and consumer discretionary at 8.80 per cent are the next largest sectors, while industrials at 6.50 per cent is below the benchmark weight.

Leading Holdings

NVIDIA is the largest holding at 14.83 per cent, followed by Alphabet at 11.12 per cent, Microsoft at 8.94 per cent and Apple at 6.03 per cent. Eli Lilly, Broadcom, Mastercard, Amazon, Micron and Meta Platforms complete the top ten.

The portfolio holds 42 stocks, so each position carries meaningful weight. The top ten account for most of the fund, and the largest two holdings together exceed a quarter of assets.

Costs, Size and Structure

The expense ratio is 0.35 per cent a year, which equates to about $35 on a $10,000 holding and is a higher charge than the fund's index-based peers. The 30-day SEC Yield is 0.02 per cent, reflecting the limited income from growth holdings.

Net assets were reported at $44.1 million at 31 October 2026, and the fund distributes income annually. Units trade on the exchange at market price, which was slightly above net asset value on 6 November.

Final Word

The Vanguard Wellington U.S. Growth Active ETF offers an actively selected portfolio of 42 large U.S. growth companies, with technology more than 70 per cent of assets. The market price rose 1.31 per cent on 6 November, and the expense ratio is 0.35 per cent a year. Because the fund is small and recently launched, investors should weigh the manager's stock selection and the concentration in technology alongside the cost.
