Meet the Low-Cost Vanguard ETF Beating the S&P 500 in 2026 That Many Investors Are Overlooking

Published July 9, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

As the stock market's most popular and invested-in index, it makes sense that the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) would get a lot of attention. In fact, the three largest ETFs on the market are all S&P 500 ETFs, and so far through July 8, the S&P 500 is up just over 9%.

Historically, the S&P 500 has averaged around 10% annual returns over the long haul, so being up by 9% through half the year is still a solid start. However, there is one overlooked ETF that has more than doubled the S&P 500's returns so far this year: the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NASDAQ: VTWO). It's up just over 19%.
