Better Sector Diversification: QQQ According to popular misconception, QQQ is not just limited to the technology sector.

Do ETF’s pay dividends?
- Pro-rata, ETFs distribute all of the dividends received from the underlying equities in the fund.

Is SPY and VOO the same?
As far as I know, this means nothing. What’s the best one? Which ETF should I invest in? The short-term differences between SPY and VOO are insignificant when viewed from a variety of perspectives. The equities’ day-to-day fluctuations are practically equal. When an investment period is extended to one year or even five years, modest variations become more significant. There’s a lot of money to be made even though SPY and VOO’s average 5-year percentage change is only 0.72 percent. A $100,000 investment in SPY would result in a value of $100,720 in VOO. Even if you only invest a few thousand dollars at the beginning of your career, you might potentially save a lot of money in the long run. Because of the resemblance, prospective investors can feel at ease with either one.

Does Voo ever split?
Vanguard said today that it plans to declare forward share splits in late April to extend access to three Vanguard ETFs:
- Vonov (VONV, CUSIP 92206C714) will be split two-for-one.
- There will be a 4-for-1 split of the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG, CUSIP: 92206C680).
A split of VONV and VTWO will cut each ETF’s price per share by half while increasing the total number of shares in circulation. VONG’s price per share will be reduced to one-fourth of its prior value and the number of shares will quadruple as a result of the 4-for-1 split.
Assuming all goes according to plan, the stock split will go into effect on April 20th*.
Head of the Vanguard Portfolio Review Department Kaitlyn Caughlin explains that “Vanguard carefully analyzes fund health to ensure that funds are performing as expected, being appropriately deployed and matching with investor-desired outcomes.” By adopting share splits to keep ETF share prices in efficient and easily accessible trading ranges, Vanguard assists investors with ETF-centric portfolios by minimizing uninvested funds in their accounts.”
A split will not affect the overall price of an ETF. Taxes will not be owed on the splits. No effect will be felt on the prices of conventional (non-ETF) shares of the three mutual fund funds.
Our process for share splits
According to Vanguard, the decision to separate the three ETFs’ shares was made after careful consideration of market pricing, bid-ask spreads, and trading volumes. At this point, these three ETFs meet Vanguard’s criteria for a share split.
Advisors will be able to use these ETFs more effectively when rebalancing client portfolios as a result of the splits.
Vanguard reviews its ETFs on a regular basis to see if judicious share splits may benefit current and potential investors. There hasn’t been a 1-for-2 reverse split of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF since 2013, when the company announced its initial splits in April.
More than $13 billion is invested in the three exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are planned to split their shares, with expenses ranging from 0.08 percent in VONG and VONV up till a ratio of 0.10 percent in VTWO, compared to an industry average of 0.15 percent as of December 31, 2020. (source: Morningstar, Inc.).
There are 81 U.S.-domiciled ETFs in Vanguard’s portfolio, which has a total market capitalization of $1.7 trillion.
As at the close of business on Monday, April 19, 2021, all investors will be included in the share split. On April 19 and 20, investors will be unable to convert their mutual fund shares in these funds into ETF shares. When trading commences on April 20, the split-adjusted pricing will be in effect.
