Battle of the S&P 500 ETFs: How VOO Compares to SPY on Fees, Yield, and Risk
The SPDR S 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT:SPY) and the Vanguard S 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:VOO) both offer broad exposure to large-cap U.S. stocks by tracking the S 500 Index. While both track the same index and deliver nearly identical returns, VOO stands out for its lower fees and higher assets under management compared to SPY.
For investors comparing these two giants, the decision often comes down to cost, liquidity, and subtle differences in structure rather than performance or holdings.
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S 500. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months.
