VOO vs. IVV: Which Popular S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Investors?
Overview
The primary distinction between iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:IVV) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:VOO) lies in their issuer and assets under management, as both provide identical expense ratios and performance.
Both iShares Core S&P 500 ETF and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF serve as cornerstone investments for millions of portfolios. They track the same benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which covers roughly 80% of the available market capitalization of the U.S. equity market. Because they aim for the same target, the choice often comes down to brand preference or existing brokerage relationships rather than fundamental strategy differences.
