Side-by-side comparisons of popular index funds and ETFs: what they hold, how much they overlap and what each one costs, based on their SEC filings.
A total stock market fund holds about seven times as many companies as an S&P 500 fund, but the largest companies dominate both. What each holds, what they cost, how they’ve performed over 10 years, and how to choose.
Fidelity’s FXAIX, Vanguard’s VOO and Schwab’s SWPPX all track the S&P 500 for a few hundredths of a percent a year. Using their own prospectuses, we compare costs, tracking, minimums, taxes and how you buy them.
