The CRSP U.S. Total Market index is made up of all 3,451 companies listed on American stock exchanges. Then there's the CRSP U.S. Large Cap index, which aims to include the major companies that account for 85% of the market's total capitalization. The index includes just 438 companies, a fact that highlights the extreme concentration of capital in corporate America.
Those 438 companies can be divided into two categories: growth stocks and value stocks. The CRSP U.S. Large Cap Growth index consists of the 146 growth stocks in that group, a subset that includes nine of America's 10 most valuable companies. Typically, the CRSP U.S. Large Cap Growth Index outperforms its value-based counterpart because of its high degree of exposure to sectors such as technology, and it has an exceptional track record of delivering positive returns.

The Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that mimics the CRSP Large Cap Growth Index by holding the same stocks. Here's how it could turn consistent investments of $500 per month into $1 million over the long term.
Technology companies operate at the forefront of some of the world's fastest-growing industries, with artificial intelligence (AI) being the latest example. Therefore, despite the fact that this EFT has components from across all 11 different sectors of the stock market, it's no surprise that almost 70% of its ***** ets are parked in technology stocks.
