Are ETFs preferable to stocks?
Consider the risk as well as the potential return when determining whether to invest in stocks or an ETF. When there is a broad dispersion of returns from the mean, stock-picking has an advantage over ETFs. And, with stock-picking, you can use your understanding of the industry or the stock to gain an advantage.
In two cases, ETFs have an edge over stocks. First, an ETF may be the best option when the return from equities in the sector has a tight dispersion around the mean. Second, if you can’t obtain an advantage through company knowledge, an ETF is the greatest option.
To grasp the core investment fundamentals, whether you’re picking equities or an ETF, you need to stay current on the sector or the stock. You don’t want all of your hard work to be undone as time goes on. While it’s critical to conduct research before selecting a stock or ETF, it’s equally critical to conduct research and select the broker that best matches your needs.
Is the S&P 500 an ETF?
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (henceforth “SPDR”) has bought and sold its components based on the changing lineup of the underlying S&P 500 index since its inception in 1993. That means SPDR must trade away a dozen or so components every year, based on the most recent company rankings, and then rebalance. Some of those components are acquired by other firms, while others are dropped from the S&P 500 index for failing to meet the index’s tough standards. State Street then sells the exiting index component (or at the very least removes it from its SPDR holdings) and replaces it with the incoming one. As a result, an ETF that closely mimics the S&P 500 has been created.
SPDR has spawned a slew of imitators as the definitive S&P 500 ETF. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), as well as iShares’ Core S&P 500 ETF, are both S&P 500 funds (IVV). They, together with SPDR, lead this market of funds that aren’t necessarily low-risk, but at least move in lockstep with the stock market as a whole, with net assets of over $827.2 billion and $339.3 billion, respectively.
