IYYCiShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF

VTIAVanguard Morningstar Total 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.

VTI The whole US stock market in one ticker: roughly 3,600 names, from mega caps down to micro caps, for three basis points. Vanguard has run this portfolio in ETF form since 2001, and it's grown into one of the largest funds anywhere.

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.

VTI The fund aims to replicate the performance of a benchmark index that covers the entire U.S. stock market.

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.

VTI Costs 0.03% a year, half the 0.06% typical for its total-market peers.
About 3,600 holdings, so the small and micro caps an S&P 500 fund leaves out are already in the mix.vanguard.com
Tracks its total-market benchmark very closely and trades heavily, and it sits among the strongest implementations in its peer group.
The ETF is a share class of Vanguard's Total Stock Market Index Fund, sharing one portfolio with the mutual fund rather than running a separate copy.sec.gov

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

VTI Market-cap weighted, so the biggest US companies drive the result and the thousands of small names at the bottom carry little weight.vanguard.com
All US, by design. Nothing outside the country comes with it.
ITOT and SCHB match the 0.03% fee and BBUS runs 0.02%, so rivals deliver similar whole-market exposure for the same or less.
