Risk and diversification
How VG has fallen, how it held up in crashes beside the S&P 500 and its popular alternatives, and what moves independently of it.
What were VG's worst declines?
- Not every decline was the market's doing: VG fell 75.2% from January to December 2025, while the S&P 500 rose 12.6%.
A drawdown is the decline from a peak to the lowest point before a new high. This section presents VG's deepest drawdown since it began trading in 2025, alongside the S&P 500's return over the same dates, and how long each took to recover. Together, these figures show how much an investor could have lost and how long it took to get back to even.
Note: VG began trading on January 24, 2025, so this list cannot include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or eight other sell-offs.
Green means VG fell less than the S&P 500 over the same dates. Based on daily closing prices with dividends reinvested.

Common questions
What was VG's worst drawdown?
VG's deepest decline since it began trading in 2025 was 75.2%, from January to December 2025. It has not yet climbed back to that peak. Because VG launched in January 2025, that record does not include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or eight other sell-offs.
What are the best alternatives to VG?
Of the 19 popular alternatives we compared, eight outperformed VG in at least 3 of 5 timeframes, with dividends reinvested: TRGP, LNG and RRC.
How we measure
- Short-term periods are 1M, 3M, 6M, YTD, 1Y. An investment outperformed in a period when its total return, with dividends reinvested, was higher than VG's. Returns within 0.5 points or 3% of VG's, whichever is larger, count as a tie.
- "Qualified" means outperforming in at least 3 of 5 periods. "All-weather" means outperforming in every long-term period and all but one short-term period.
- Popular alternatives are the funds and stocks most often compared with this one. We include only those that trade today, are not leveraged or inverse, and hold at least $200 million.
- Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily returns over 1 year, a measure of how much the price typically swings in a year. The Sharpe ratio is the return above cash for each unit of that volatility.
- A decline, or drawdown, runs from a peak to the lowest close before the next high. The worst decline ever uses all the price history we have; comparisons between funds use the past 10 years so that younger funds are judged on the same stretch.
- Sector overlap is the share of assets two funds hold in the same sectors. Correlation and the mixed-portfolio figures use monthly returns.
- Figures are computed from daily adjusted prices and update after each trading day. Past performance does not predict future results.
