Vanguard's VGT has significantly underperformed competitors XLK and FTEC over a five-year horizon, with returns of 147.78% compared to XLK's 167.44% and FTEC's 150.56%. — Consistent underperformance relative to peer funds may lead investors to rotate capital out of VGT into higher-performing tech ETFs.
