Our read on SPYM

ETF.net Research

In short

AState Street's budget-priced S&P 500 tracker: the same 500 large caps as its famous sibling, for 0.02% a year, the lowest fee in its S&P 500 peer group. Running since 2005 and now one of the category's giants.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500 Index before fees and expenses, providing broad exposure to U.S. large-cap equities.

Why people hold it

  • 0.02% a year, the cheapest fee in its S&P 500 cohort, against a 0.15% median for the group. Two dollars a year per $10,000 invested.
  • Same S&P 500 index as State Street's flagship SPY (0.09%), for a fraction of the fee, and a basis point under VOO and IVV.
  • Tracks the index tightly: gaps between fund and benchmark are among the smallest in its peer group, which is the whole job of an index wrapper.
  • Live since 2005, now one of the largest and most heavily traded funds in the category. Distributions land quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • The S&P 500 is cap-weighted, so the biggest US companies drive most of the move. Equal-weight takes on the same index (RSP) spread that bet differently.
  • About 500 US large caps and nothing else: no mid caps, no small caps, no international.
  • The fee edge over VOO and IVV is one basis point. Same index, so trading costs and platform access matter as much as the sticker fee.
