1. VOO Crosses $1 Trillion
The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF reached $1 trillion in assets after a single-day $1.7 billion inflow, becoming the first ETF in history to achieve this milestone.
2. Strong Year-To-Date Inflows
VOO has netted approximately $69 billion in inflows so far this year, leading all funds while SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust experienced net outflows. This performance underscores a shift in investor preference toward VOO.
3. Low Expense Ratio Advantage
Charging just 0.03% annually, VOO matches the lowest fee among major S&P 500 ETFs and undercuts SPY’s 0.09% rate. Vanguard’s reputation for low-cost indexing continues to draw buy-and-hold investors.
4. Path to $2 Trillion
