Five-Year Performance<\/h3>\n

SPY vs VOO vs IVV: Overview<\/h2>\n

All three follow the same S&P 500 index<\/a><\/strong>, which is composed of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the US. That means the three funds will be holding essentially the same stocks<\/a> in the same proportions. The only differences are in the details.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 index and the ETFs<\/a> that track them are market cap weighted. That means that they give larger companies a heavier weight.<\/p>\n
