SPYMAState Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF

VOOGBVanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF

In short

SPYM State Street's budget-priced S&P 500 tracker: the same 500 large caps as its famous sibling, for 0.02% a year, the lowest fee in its S&P 500 peer group. Running since 2005 and now one of the category's giants.

VOOG VOOG owns the growth half of the S&P 500: the same large caps you already know, re-sorted by sales growth, earnings-change-to-price and momentum. A style tilt built inside a familiar index, priced near the bottom of the growth shelf.

Stated mandate

SPYM The fund seeks to track the total return of the S&P 500 Index before fees and expenses, providing broad exposure to U.S. large-cap equities.

VOOG The fund aims to track the investment returns of large-cap growth stocks in the United States by following the S&P 500 Growth Index.

Why people hold it

SPYM 0.02% a year, the cheapest fee in its S&P 500 cohort, against a 0.15% median for the group. Two dollars a year per $10,000 invested.
Same S&P 500 index as State Street's flagship SPY (0.09%), for a fraction of the fee, and a basis point under VOO and IVV.
Tracks the index tightly: gaps between fund and benchmark are among the smallest in its peer group, which is the whole job of an index wrapper.
Live since 2005, now one of the largest and most heavily traded funds in the category. Distributions land quarterly.

VOOG Costs 0.07% a year versus a 0.18% median for US growth funds. On a plain index slice, that gap is most of the argument.
Every holding is already an S&P 500 member, ranked on three growth factors: sales growth, earnings change to price, and momentum. A slice of a known index, not a new universe.spglobal.com vanguard.com
Straight index tracking, no active discretion, and one of the stronger implementations in its growth peer group. Vanguard has run it since 2010.vanguard.com
A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund that pays quarterly, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.

Worth knowing

SPYM The S&P 500 is cap-weighted, so the biggest US companies drive most of the move. Equal-weight takes on the same index (RSP) spread that bet differently.
About 500 US large caps and nothing else: no mid caps, no small caps, no international.
The fee edge over VOO and IVV is one basis point. Same index, so trading costs and platform access matter as much as the sticker fee.

VOOG SPYG tracks the same S&P 500 Growth Index for a lower fee. Identical index, different sticker.
Not pure growth. S&P splits part of the parent index across both its growth and value benchmarks, so some names show up in both.spglobal.com
About 210 names, weighted by market cap, so the largest positions drive most of the movement.spglobal.com
