Vanguard S&P 500

Few index funds are as widely owned as VOO, Vanguard's tracker of the S&P 500. It holds the 500 large U.S. companies in the benchmark, weighted by market value, so the biggest firms carry the most influence and the fund effectively is the American large-cap market. Its defining feature is cost: an expense ratio of about three basis points makes it one of the cheapest ways to own the index, and that low fee compounds into a real edge over decades. Launched in 2010, it has grown into one of the largest funds in the world, a default core holding for retirement accounts and long-term savers. Buyers get instant diversification across sectors and the long historical drift of U.S. equities, accepting that in a downturn it falls with the market. It is the plain-vanilla foundation many portfolios are built around.
