SageView Advisory Group LLC reduced its stake in Vanguard Growth ETF by 30.8% during the first quarter. After selling 5,280 shares, the firm now holds 11,885 shares valued at $4,407,000.

During the first quarter, Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co. raised its holdings in Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF by 6.6%. The firm purchased an additional 507,864 shares, for a total of 8,250,812 shares overall.
