What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of MGK's holdings, performance and risks.
Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK) is led by Technology, which makes up 60.1% of the fund, followed by Communication Services at 15.6% and Consumer Cyclical at 11.0%. With more than half in one sector, MGK moves with that sector more than a broadly spread fund would. MGK is a Large Growth fund from Vanguard, launched on December 17, 2007.
Costs are small here: the expense ratio is 0.05%, or $5.00 a year on a $10,000 holding. The fund carries net assets of $35.1B, pays a distribution yield of 0.33%, and its portfolio turnover is 14%.
Concentration matters here: Technology makes up 60.1% of the fund, so a setback in that sector would weigh on the whole. On a typical day the price of MGK shifts by 0.98%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns.

CleaRank AI analysis of MGK
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
MGK is caught between its two moving averages. The price of $90.00 sits 5.92% above the 200-day average of $84.97, yet 1.29% below the 50-day average of $91.17. Sitting at 83% of its 52-week range, the price is 5.79% below the 52-week high of $95.53. The 50-day average is 7.30% above the 200-day average, and that spread would shrink if the price keeps trading under the shorter average.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 37.8, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, although the MACD line is positive, which pulls the other way. The price is up over each of these periods: 0.99% over the past month, 3.65% over the past three months and 12.52% over the past year.
- Two levels deserve the closest watch: the 50-day SMA at $91.17, which sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $84.97, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 37.8, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line positive; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. MGK's expense ratio of 0.05% a year means $5.00 is charged on every $10,000 invested.
The trend is mixed: MGK is above its 200-day average at $84.97 but below its 50-day average at $91.17. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. In the meantime the price sits between the 200-day SMA ($84.97) underneath and the 50-day SMA ($91.17) overhead.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in MGK, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in MGK today could grow to about $25,810 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $63,202 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $10,540 (above the amount invested: over ten years most simulated paths of a rising, moderately volatile asset end higher). The simulation models price only; at today's 0.33% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
MGK 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $132 for MGK by 2030 in the base case, from $90.00 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $74.64. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on MGK's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $74.55 | $98.95 | $131 | |
| 2028 | $72.89 | $109 | $162 | |
| 2029 | $73.24 | $120 | $195 | |
| 2030 | $74.64 | $132 | $232 | |
