VGT Q1 2026 institutional ownership is a $33.0B book across 1,899 holders. Every reported major position is classified NEW or carries artifact flags, indicating prior-quarter comparison is structurally unavailable for this name in Q1 2026 filings. Bank of America is the largest reported holder at $10.5B (15.1M shares, +2.0%, -$665M from negative valueChange with INCREASED = accumulation into weakness; effectively a NEW/concentrated addition). JPMorgan $4.3B (6.4M shares, +0.2%, -$539M from same artifact). Morgan Stanley $1.5B (2.1M shares, -1.6%). UBS Group $1.1B (1.5M shares, +0.2%). Wells Fargo $1.1B (1.5M shares, -0.7%). LPL Financial $874M (1.3M shares, -4.0%). PGIM Custom Harvest $574M (0.8M shares, -1.5%). Raymond James $567M. Northern Trust $180M (+41% from tiny base = new significant position). Ameriprise $460M.

Russell Investments $194M. Mercer $117M. Lido Advisors $153M. New positions: none explicitly flagged but entire book is NEW-snapshot. The 75.50 whaleScore reflects AUM. Smart-money read: neutral snapshot only. VGT is the premier pure-play technology sector ETF and its $33.0B book of 1,899 holders reflects broad institutional core holding of mega-cap tech (Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, etc.). Bank of America $10.5B representing 31.8% of the ETF book is an unusually concentrated single-holder weight, suggesting BofA uses VGT as a core technology sleeve within its SMA/UMA platform. Without prior-quarter comparison, no directional inference is available. Read: neutral snapshot; meaningful signal requires prior-quarter baseline.
