iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)
The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, trading under the symbol IVV, stands as one of the largest and most liquid exchange-traded funds in the world. This behemoth tracks the S&P 500 index, providing investors with broad exposure to 500 of the largest U.S. companies, effectively serving as a barometer for the overall U.S. stock market. With its low expense ratio and high trading volume, IVV offers an efficient vehicle for both retail and institutional investors to gain instant diversification across the U.S. large-cap equity space. The fund's performance closely mirrors the broader U.S. economy, making it a popular choice for those seeking to build long-term wealth or as a core holding in diversified portfolios. However, investors should be aware that IVV's concentration in large-cap stocks means it may underperform during periods when small or mid-cap equities lead the market.
