SPTMAState Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 Composite Stock Market ETF

In short

IYY A 2000-vintage broad US equity fund, IYY packs roughly a thousand large- and mid-cap names into one ticker and hugs its index tightly. The trade-off: it charges several times what today's cheapest total-market wrappers do.

SPTM One ticker for the whole US market ladder: about 1,500 large, mid and small caps from S&P's composite index at 3 basis points. Running since 2000, at half the fee of the typical total-market rival.

Stated mandate

IYY The fund seeks to track the investment results of a broad-based index composed of U.S. equities, providing broad exposure to U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks.

SPTM The fund seeks to provide investment results that generally correspond to the total return of the S&P Composite 1500 Index, offering broad U.S. equity exposure across market capitalizations.

Why people hold it

  • IYY Roughly a thousand large- and mid-cap US stocks in one line item, the whole domestic blue-chip and mid-tier field without picking names.ishares.com
  • Tracking is the strong suit here: it follows the Dow Jones U.S. Index with very little drift, among the tightest implementations in the total-market group.
  • Launched in 2000, one of the older broad-market ETFs still trading, with a record spanning several full market cycles.
  • A multi-billion-dollar iShares fund that pays out quarterly.
  • SPTM 0.03% a year, half the 0.06% median for total-market rivals. In a category where cost is most of the argument, it sits in the cheap tier.
  • One job, done plainly: large, mid and small cap US stocks in a single wrapper, about 1,500 names, no sector bets or style tilts, and it has tracked its index closely.
  • Launched in 2000, so it has traded through the dot-com bust, 2008 and 2020. A multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands actively every day.
  • Stands in the upper half of its total-market peer group next to VTI, SCHB and ITOT, and matches ITOT's declared index at the same 0.03% fee.

Worth knowing

  • IYY The 0.20% annual fee is the sticking point: VTI, ITOT and SCHB deliver comparable total-market exposure at 0.03%.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads and limit orders matter more, especially on larger tickets.
  • The mandate targets large and mid caps, so the small-cap end of the US market sits outside the index.ishares.com
  • SPTM Liquidity is solid rather than category-leading. The largest total-market funds trade heavier, so spreads here can run a little wider on big or hurried orders.
  • US only. International stocks sit outside the mandate, so global exposure has to come from somewhere else in the portfolio.
  • Owning the whole US market means owning its drawdowns: no buffer, no hedge, no cash cushion. Cash comes back as a quarterly distribution.
