GFAFX

Of course it has, because they're not even remotely the same thing, despite the rating agencies forcing GFAFX into large growth style box it doesn't manage around. SCHG is 50% tech, while GFAFX has tech it also holds other sectors, even some international. It's comparable to the SP500, which it's beat over every rolling 10 year period for 30 years. Rolling periods are important through all market conditions, because a few of us on Reddit have been at this through the 2000 tech wreck and 2008 collapse, and we're watching in amusement at the clown show on display today. IMHO and real world experience, too many investors today have absolutely no clue what a real bear market is like or had no actual money/net worth in play at the time, and why would they since the Fed has been accommodating pump daddy for 20 years already. All that matters is what you keep, and some of y'all gonna be real surprised with how that math turns out.

Mutual funds with the dividend set to reinvest. I've been in GFAFX since '09 with my paper route earnings and it has done well for me over the decades. You could do straight ETF like VTI, but the dividend payout is significantly less.\~1% vs \~8%.

Depends on your goals and risk tolerance. If you're young, go for some where growth is the point in your retirement accounts. PRWCX and GFAFX are two I'm invested in for my retirement accounts. In accounts that have nearer term goals, like down payments for a house or something, go for ones where capital retention is the point and pepper in some bonds. WSHFX, BALFX, ANBEX
