"The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO ) is the most popular in terms of size, with over $775 billion in total assets under management. It has the same weightings and holdings as the S&P 500 index and an exceptionally low expense ratio of just 0.03%. You pay just $3 annually per $10,000 for an ETF issued by Vanguard that tracks the benchmark. And when an ETF is this big, you'll have no issues with liquidity and slippage."
"At the same time, you'd also be making a mistake by not having any satellite holdings to boost your overall returns. Certain megatrends in the market can go on for far longer than you'd think. This has allowed ETFs to outperform the VOO massively at times, with the potential to keep outperforming next year and potentially the year after. The ETF that trounced VOO's returns this year Select STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defense ETF (BATS:EUAD ) tracks the Europe Total Market Aerospace & Defense Index before fees and expenses."
