SPY, VOO, and IVV: Top S&P 500 ETFs for Broad Market Exposure

Three prominent S&P 500 ETFs, SPY, VOO, and IVV, are popular choices among investors. Each offers broad market exposure, but their costs and returns vary slightly.

Vanguard's VOO and iShares' IVV both boast an impressive annualized 5-year return of 16.43% and a low expense ratio of 0.03%. VOO and IVV are nearly identical, with VOO having a slightly higher 30-day SEC yield (0.85% vs 0.82%). Meanwhile, SPY, managed by SPDR, offers a 5-year return of 16.36% but has a higher expense ratio of 0.095%.

Major brokerages typically offer commission-free trading for these ETFs, making them accessible to a wide range of investors. However, the number of shares one can buy may depend on the current trading price of each fund.

Investors seeking broad exposure to the S&P 500 can choose from SPY, VOO, or IVV. VOO and IVV may offer slight cost savings in the long run due to their lower expense ratios, while SPY has a slightly higher yield. Regardless of choice, these ETFs provide a convenient and cost-effective way to invest in the U.S. stock market.
