IVVAiShares Core S&P 500 ETF

RSPBInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF

In short

IVV The 2000-vintage iShares take on the S&P 500, now a $100B-plus cornerstone holding: roughly 500 large US companies, 0.03% a year, and tracking that stays tight to the index.

RSP Same 500 companies as the S&P 500, sliced evenly instead of by size. Running since 2003, it is the large, heavily traded way to own the index without letting a handful of megacaps call the shots.

Stated mandate

IVV The fund seeks to track the investment results of an index made up of large-capitalization U.S. equities.

RSP The fund is designed to provide exposure to the S&P 500 while equally weighting the stocks in that index.

Why people hold it

IVV Costs 0.03% a year, a fraction of the typical fee among S&P 500 trackers, and undercuts the category's founding fund (SPY, 0.09%) on the same index.
Tracking is the whole job, and it does it about as tightly as this peer group gets: roughly 500 large US companies, no manager discretion bolted on.
A $100B-plus fund that trades heavily all session, which is what keeps bid-ask spreads thin for retail-sized orders and institutional blocks alike.
Running since 2000 as a registered open-end fund, with quarterly distributions and one of the longest live records in the S&P 500 aisle.ishares.com

RSP Every name gets the same slice: about 500 S&P 500 members, equally weighted, so no small group of giants steers the whole fund.
One job, done plainly. Hold the S&P 500's companies and weight them equally. No stock picking, no forecasts, no tilt beyond the equal-weight rule.
Trading since 2003 and now a multi-billion-dollar, very actively traded fund, which tends to make getting in and out cheap. Distributions land quarterly.

Worth knowing

IVV Pure US large cap. No mid caps, no small caps, nothing overseas, so it works as one slab of a portfolio rather than the whole thing.
It rides the index in both directions: when the S&P 500 has an ugly year, this has the same ugly year, minus the fee.
A near-identical rival shaves a basis point (SPYM at 0.02%). On $10,000 that gap is about a dollar a year, so structure and trading habits matter more.

RSP The 0.20% annual fee sits above the median for S&P 500 trackers and well above cap-weighted siblings like VOO and IVV at 0.03%.
Equal weighting leans toward the index's smaller members, so results can diverge from the headline S&P 500 in either direction.
Keeping weights level takes ongoing rebalancing, so turnover runs higher than a cap-weighted fund that simply lets winners ride.
