Investing in a tech ETF can help you earn above-average returns over time.

With enough consistency, this fund could result in a portfolio worth $1 million or more.

The right investment can transform your finances, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a low-effort way to build long-term wealth.

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) has been skyrocketing, earning total returns of more than 150% in the last five years alone. This means that if you'd invested $10,000 back then, you'd have over $25,000 by today.

Past performance doesn't predict future returns, but there's reason to believe this ETF could still have plenty of room for growth. Here's why.

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF holds 316 stocks from all areas of the technology industry, but its largest focus is semiconductor stocks -- with around 38% of the portfolio dedicated to this subsector.

Semiconductor companies have been lucrative lately. Perhaps most notable is Micron Technology , which has earned total returns of nearly 700% over the last 12 months. This ETF provides exposure to fast-growing companies like Micron, along with established giants like Nvidia , Apple , and Microsoft .
