Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

SPGMAState Street SPDR Portfolio MSCI Global Stock Market ETF

VTIAVanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF

In short

SPGM One ticker for the whole investable world. SPGM tracks MSCI's ACWI IMI index, holding roughly 2,900 stocks across developed and emerging markets, and charges 0.09% a year to do it.

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

SPGM The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the MSCI ACWI IMI Index.

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

Why people hold it

  • SPGM 0.09% a year, against a 0.45% median for the index-wrapper funds it competes with. That gap compounds quietly in your favor.
  • Roughly 2,900 stocks in one line item: US, developed foreign, emerging. No rebalancing between three regional funds, no home-country blind spot.ssga.com
  • Pure replication, done tightly: the fund has stuck close to the MSCI ACWI IMI index it promises, one of the cleaner implementations among the index trackers we cover.ssga.com
  • Live since 2012 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so it is not a launch-year experiment hunting for assets.
  • 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

  • SPGM Vanguard's VT covers similar all-world ground for 0.06%. Small gap, but real if fee is your only tiebreaker.
  • Owning the world means owning its currencies and its emerging markets. Foreign swings show up in your return, unsmoothed.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume monster, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the busiest global funds.
  • 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.
