About Vanguard S&P 500 ETF
VOO is Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund in ETF form: one share holds a slice of all 500 companies in the index, weighted by size, so its biggest holdings are Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet. It launched in September 2010 and has grown into one of the largest ETFs in the world.
What moves VOO stock
- The S&P 500 itself: VOO tracks it almost exactly; one VOO share is worth roughly a tenth of the index level.
- The biggest stocks: the ten largest companies make up more than a third of the fund.
- Rates, the Fed and earnings, like the whole stock market.
VOO at a glance
- Expense ratio: 0.03% a year, $3 on every $10,000 invested.
- Dividends: paid quarterly, from the dividends of the 500 companies.
- SPY charges 0.0945% and IVV 0.03% for the same index; SPY trades the most, which matters to active traders, not long-term holders.
