Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DIAAState Street SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust

PBUSAInvesco MSCI USA ETF

In short

DIA The Dow in one ticker, trading since 1998. Thirty blue chips weighted by share price instead of company size, with membership decided by a committee rather than a formula. The odd one out among index funds, on purpose.

PBUS Roughly 500 US stocks for 0.04% a year, benchmarked to the MSCI USA Index instead of the S&P 500. Invesco's rules-based core holding, running since 2017.

Stated mandate

DIA The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

PBUS The Fund tracks the MSCI USA Index and commits at least 90% of its assets to securities included in that index.

Why people hold it

  • DIA 0.16% a year, roughly a third of the 0.45% median for its index-tracking cohort, and it has tracked the Dow very closely.
  • Launched January 1998 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, with one of the strongest tradability profiles in its peer group.
  • Pays monthly, not quarterly, which is rare for a plain-vanilla stock index fund.ssga.com
  • About 30 household-name US large caps. You can read the entire portfolio in a minute and know exactly what you own.ssga.com
  • PBUS 0.04% a year sits at the floor of its peer group, matching SPYV and a hair above SCHK's 0.03%.invesco.com
  • Returns have hugged the MSCI USA Index about as tightly as anything in its cohort, so index-level exposure arrives with very little slippage.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund trading since 2017, with a real market cycle behind it rather than a launch-window track record.
  • Roughly 500 names and quarterly distributions: a plain broad-market wrapper with no options overlay, no leverage, no sector tilt bolted on.

Worth knowing

  • DIA The Dow is price-weighted: a high-priced stock moves the index more than a cheaper one, whatever the companies are actually worth.ssga.com
  • Membership is chosen by an Averages Committee (Wall Street Journal, S&P DJI and CME staff), not a rules screen, and 30 names leaves gaps a broad-market fund fills.ssga.com
  • Unit investment trust plumbing: dividends sit in cash until the payout instead of being reinvested, the trust offers no reinvestment service, and it does not lend securities.sec.govsec.gov 2
  • PBUS MSCI USA is not the S&P 500. Holdings and results drift from an S&P-benchmarked portfolio, which matters if that is the yardstick you track against.invesco.com
  • The mandate commits at least 90% of assets to index securities, which leaves a slice of room outside the benchmark.
  • Moderately traded rather than one of the tape's busiest tickers, so spreads deserve a glance and limit orders earn their keep.
