  • What does "buy" mean in VUG activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in VUG compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to VANGUARD GROWTH ETF (VUG) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).
