About the ETF

VOO was created on 2010-09-07 by Vanguard. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. The ETF currently has 727001.86m in AUM and 506 holdings. The fund is passively managed to hold large-cap US stocks selected by an S&P Committee.

This ETF tracks the S&P 500 Index, one of the most famous benchmarks in the world and one that tracks some of America’s largest companies. As a result, investors should think of this as a play on mega and large cap stocks in the American market. These securities are usually known as ‘Blue Chips’ and are some of the most famous and profitable companies in the country, including well known names such as ExxonMobil, Apple, IBM, and GE. The fund is probably one of the safest in the equity world as the companies on this list are very unlikely to go under unless there is an apocalyptic event in the economy
