SGENX vs VT (2026)
First Eagle Global Fund Class A and Vanguard Total World Stock ETF side by side. VT is the cheaper fund (0.06% vs 1.10% expense ratio). Over the last five years SGENX returned more (+70.00% vs +60.22%, total return). SGENX holds most of its exposure through derivatives rather than the securities it files, so a portfolio-overlap figure would be misleading here. Not investment advice.

All returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), through the latest price during the session. CAGR = compound annual growth rate. '—' means the fund's history doesn't span the horizon. A mutual fund's AUM is its whole fund's, every share class together (its SEC filing); an ETF's is its own. Returns run to Oct 30, 2026, the last month-end, as fund companies report a mutual fund's: a fund that pays monthly books each month's income on its last business day, so a return to a later day would leave that month's income out.
Annualized returns (CAGR)#

Holdings overlap#
No overlap figure for this pair. SGENX files only 90% of net assets as securities — it gets the rest of its exposure through swaps and other derivatives, which N-PORT reports separately from the holdings below. Comparing the filed baskets as if they were whole portfolios would overstate how alike the funds are.
Top 10 holdings, side by side#
Merged top 10 across the funds — each column is the holding's % of that fund. For SGENX, that means % of the securities filed, not of net assets.

Methodology#
Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested) from daily adjusted closes. Holdings, overlap, sector weights and flows derive from each fund's public SEC filings (Form N-PORT), anchored on the latest filing and rolled forward daily by price moves. Overlap is the sum of the smaller weight across shared holdings. See each fund's full holdings: SGENX holdings · VT holdings. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
