"First, we have the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( NYSEARCA:VOO), which is pretty much the go-to if you're looking to bet on the S&P 500 while keeping your expense ratio low and your liquidity high. As the name of the VOO suggests, it follows the S&P 500. In other words, it is the market, and by buying the VOO, you're going to get market returns. Nothing more, nothing less. Some think that settling for the S&P is to leave excess risk-adjusted returns on the table."
"Though choosing to stock-pick ones way to market-beating returns is a worthy pursuit for some of the more experienced investors out there, especially as concentration risks rises with funds that passively follow something like the S&P 500 or something broader, you really can't go wrong with any one of the Vanguard ETFs if you're out of ideas for individual names to buy"
Three popular Vanguard ETFs offer broad exposure with substantial overlap and exceptionally low expense ratios. Passive investors can use these funds for automated, low-effort investing, while mixing single stocks and ETFs can reduce concentration risk. Stock-picking can yield market-beating returns for experienced investors but increases concentration risk compared with broad-index ETFs. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO) tracks the S&P 500, delivering market returns with high liquidity and minimal costs. Regular dollar-cost averaging into VOO can simplify portfolio management and capture market performance despite heavy weighting in large-cap technology names.
