This ETF's primary objective is to replicate the performance of the CRSP US Total Market Index. It holds a broadly diversified equity portfolio, encompassing companies of all market capitalizations—large, medium, and small—and balanced across both growth and value investment approaches. Management follows a passive strategy, often employing an index-sampling technique, and the portfolio typically holds minimal cash, maintaining full investment in its assets. The fund's modest operating costs help ensure its net performance closely aligns with the index by minimizing tracking error. A significant portion (75%) of the fund's assets is subject to certain investment constraints. Specifically, it generally cannot acquire more than 10% of any single company's outstanding voting shares, nor can it hold more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer's securities. However, these concentration limits may be exceeded if necessary to accurately reflect the composition of its benchmark index. Importantly, these restrictions do not apply to investments in U.S. government debt or securities issued by its agencies.

Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF

SPY is the best-recognized and oldest US listed ETF and typically tops rankings for largest AUM and greatest trading volume. The fund tracks the massively popular US index, the S&P 500. Few realize that S&P's index committee chooses 500 securities to represent the US large-cap space - not necessarily the 500 largest by market cap, which can lead to some omissions of single names. Still, the index offers outstanding exposure to the US large-cap space. It's important to note, SPY is a unit investment trust, an older but entirely viable structure. As a UIT, SPY must fully replicate its index (it probably would anyway) and forgo the small risk and reward of securities lending. It also can`t reinvest portfolio dividends between distributions, the resulting cash drag will slightly hurt performance in up markets and help in downtrends. SPY is a favored vanilla trading vehicle.
