"VOO tracks the S&P 500, an index of 500 large-cap U.S. companies across sectors like technology, healthcare, and finance. Giants like Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ), Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), and Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) dominate its holdings, reflecting the performance of America's biggest firms. VTI, on the other hand, follows the CRSP US Total Market Index, encompassing over 3,600 stocks, including large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap companies. This broader scope captures nearly the entire U.S. stock market, offering more diversification."
"VOO's focus on large caps means it's heavily weighted toward tech, with about 30% of its portfolio in this sector. VTI, while still tech-heavy, includes smaller companies, giving it exposure to growth-oriented firms that may not yet be S&P 500 constituents. However, VTI's broader reach dilutes the impact of top performers compared to VOO."
"Historical data shows VOO and VTI have similar long-term returns due to the S&P 500's dominance in the total market. From 2010 to 2025, VOO's annualized return averaged around 12.8%, slightly edging out VTI's 12.5%, based on Morningstar data. The S&P 500's focus on large, stable companies often leads to steadier gains during bull markets, as seen in the tech-driven rally of the early 2020s."
