IVVAiShares Core S&P 500 ETF

STXFBStrive 500 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.

STXF The off-brand S&P 500: the same 500-biggest-US-companies idea, a different index underneath, 0.05% a year. Strive launched it in 2022, and it sits in the upper half of its 500-index peer group.

Stated mandate

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

STXF The Fund seeks to track the total return of an index composed of U.S.-listed large-cap equity securities.

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

STXF 0.05% a year, about a third of what the typical 500-stock index fund in its peer group charges. Cheap is the whole pitch.
It tracks its own 500-stock US large-cap index rather than the S&P 500, so the shape of the exposure is familiar without doubling up on the single most crowded benchmark.
Plain mechanics, no gimmicks: passive, fully US large-cap, quarterly distributions, a billion-dollar asset base, and upper-half standing among 500-index wrappers.

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.

STXF VOO and IVV still undercut it at 0.03%, and STXF is only moderately traded, so spreads can widen when markets move fast.
Live since 2022, so the track record covers one market era, not several, and the issuer's fund family is young.
US only, large caps only. No small caps, nothing overseas, and no bonds in the mix.
