if you want to invest in stocks there is
[1]
a crucial term you need to know
[3]
diversification with an s p 500 or a
[6]
total u.s stock market index fund you
[8]
will not only diversify across
[9]
many different companies but accumulate
[11]
wealth alongside the stock market in a
[13]
safe way you should be including one of
[15]
these two indexes in your investment
[17]
portfolio and i'll explain
[19]
why in this video you will learn what is
[21]
the s p 500
[23]
what is the total u.s stock market the s
[26]
p 500 and total u.s stock market etfs
[29]
a comparison of the etf's voo versus
[32]
vti and which is better
[35]
the s p 500 stands for standard and
[38]
poor's 500
[39]
index which tracks the top 500
[42]
largest u.s companies the index is
[44]
regarded as the best indicator of
[47]
all large cap us equities aka
[50]
the performance of large company stocks
[52]
okay so
[53]
standard and poor's confusing name right
[56]
the names from the financial services
[58]
company s p
[59]
global where in 1941 standard statistics
[63]
merged with poor's publishing s p global
[67]
is known for creating investment indexes
[69]
we track
[70]
different parts of the market the most
[72]
popular one
[73]
s p 500 the s p 500 is a market
[76]
capitalization weighted
[77]
index a fancy way of just saying
[79]
companies with a
[80]
higher market capitalization make up a
[83]
larger percentage
[84]
of the index market capitalization or
[87]
market cap
[87]
is simply the company's worth on the
[89]
stock market it's calculated by
[91]
multiplying the stocks current price
[93]
with the number of shares open to
[95]
investors
[96]
us let's take a look at the market
[99]
capitalization of the top
[100]
five holdings in the s p 500. we have
[103]
apple at 1.97 trillion dollars
[106]
microsoft at 1.58 trillion amazon also
[110]
at 1.58 trillion
[112]
alphabet otherwise known as google at
[114]
just a bit over
[115]
one trillion dollars and then facebook
[118]
at 744.22 billion dollars
[122]
even though the s p 500 contains 500 us
[125]
companies
[126]
about 20 is made up of just the top five
[129]
holdings
[130]
the greatest thing about index fines is
[132]
that it's self-cleaning
[134]
the companies value the highest rise to
[136]
the top and make up a larger percentage
[138]
of the fun
[139]
while the allocation for smaller
[141]
companies valued less make up
[142]
a smaller portion of the fund the total
[145]
u.s stock market tracks the entire
[147]
u.s stock market meaning it contains all
[150]
u.s companies publicly traded on the
[152]
stock market
[153]
ranging from large cap to small cap
[155]
companies
[156]
it contains about 3 500 us companies
[159]
ranging from
[160]
large cap to small cap companies this
[163]
means all the companies
[164]
in the s p 500 are included as well as
[167]
all the companies not in the s p 500
[171]
we're going to compare the two indexes
[173]
and determine whether or not
[174]
the addition of small and mid cap
[177]
companies makes a difference in
[178]
long term growth the s p 500 and the
[182]
total u.s stock market are
[183]
two indexes to actually buy the indexes
[186]
you need to do so through a low-cost
[188]
mutual fund
[189]
or an etf i have a detailed video
[192]
explaining the differences between
[193]
etfs mutual funds and low-cost index
[196]
funds and i'll link it here in
[197]
description below
[198]
to compare the s p 500 and the total u.s
[201]
stock market indexes
[202]
let's compare the etfs for both
[205]
there's vanguard's vo for the s p 500
[208]
and vanguard's vti for the total u.s
[211]
stock market index
[213]
in terms of holdings vanguard's vo
[215]
contains 509 companies
[217]
while vanguard's vti contains 3 529
[221]
companies
[222]
keep in mind that vti contains all 500
[225]
companies within
[227]
voo in fact about 80 percent of vti
[231]
is vo the expense ratio of both etfs is
[235]
the same at .03 percent
[237]
this is extremely low because the
[239]
founder vanguard is
[241]
john c bogle which is credited for
[244]
creating the first
[245]
index fund vanguard does not have to
[247]
adhere to
[248]
any private investors because vanguard
[250]
is owned by
[251]
its funds who are in turn owned by
[253]
investors like
[255]
us which means vanguard's interest is
[257]
directly tied to benefiting us
[260]
the dividend yield for vo is 1.28
[264]
while the dividend yield for vti is 2.02
[268]
percent
[269]
let's take a look at the historical
[270]
performance for both etfs
[272]
i'll break down the average annual
[274]
returns for the 1
[275]
5 10 and since inception year marks
[279]
and keep in mind that annual total
[280]
returns includes
[282]
capital appreciation dividends and
[284]
expenses
[285]
since one year ago voo returned 11.87
[289]
percent
[290]
while vti returned 10.82 percent
[294]
since five years ago vo returned 11.44
[298]
and vti returned 10.87
[301]
for the 10-year mark vo is one month shy
[304]
of being
[305]
founded 10 years ago but we'll take a
[307]
look at the nine
[308]
year and 11 month return which is 14.02
[314]
with vti returning 13.58
[318]
for performance in a longer term horizon
[320]
like 15 years out let's take a look at
[322]
vti versus the s
[324]
p 500 index itself the historical
[326]
performance has been gathered by
[328]
morningstar
[329]
and the s p 500 tr stands for total
[332]
return
[333]
where dividends are reinvested back into
[335]
the fund
[336]
the s p 500 index outperforms vti for 1
[339]
3
[340]
5 and 10 years but at 15 years out the
[343]
average annual return of vti
[345]
is greater than the s p 500 the addition
[349]
of small and mid cap companies
[350]
gave vti a slight edge in growth over
[353]
the 15-year
[355]
time period and at the time of making
[357]
this video vo is worth
[358]
311 dollars while vti is worth 172
[363]
dollars
[363]
so which is better vo or vti they're
[366]
both tremendous
[368]
investment vehicles that offer
[369]
diversification and growth with the
[371]
stock market
[372]
the s p 500 actually comprises about 80
[375]
percent of the total u.s stock market
[378]
which is why the returns of vo and vti
[381]
are very similar one could say the
[384]
companies in the s p
[385]
500 are less volatile especially in a
[388]
capitalistic economy
[390]
like the united states large companies
[393]
are considered
[394]
more stable because they have the money
[396]
and resources to stay afloat
[398]
in troubling times one interesting thing
[401]
to note is the
[402]
google effect the night google was
[405]
announced to join the s
[406]
p 500 the company stock price shot up
[410]
7.3 all in
[413]
one night by simply announcing that a
[415]
company will join the s p 500
[417]
may make the stock jump up this can be
[420]
seen as well with the
[422]
recent announcement of tesla in the s p
[424]
500
[425]
those who held a total u.s stock market
[427]
index fund
[428]
benefited from this because they already
[430]
owned google before it was added to the
[433]
s p 500
[434]
while those holding an s p 500 missed
[436]
out on those
[437]
gains because it simply wasn't added to
[440]
the fund
[441]
those investors only acquired google
[442]
after the announcement was made
[445]
the stock price jumped up and then added
[447]
to the s p
[448]
500 fund vti's holdings of small and mid
[451]
cap companies potentially allows it to
[453]
outpace
[454]
voo in the long run there's higher risk
[457]
with smaller mid cap companies but also
[459]
potentially
[460]
higher rewards vti has extra
[462]
diversification
[464]
about 3 000 companies more than vo but
[467]
the extra 3000 companies only make
[469]
up about 20 of the fund
[472]
i don't plan on cashing out my
[473]
investments for several decades
[475]
which is why i invest in vti
[478]
but if the idea of holding large stable
[480]
us companies is more comforting to you
[483]
then investing in voo may be a better
[486]
play
[486]
in the end you should be investing in
[488]
whatever keeps your mind at ease
[489]
and allows you to keep investing more
[493]
let's keep this conversation going and
[494]
let me know which you like better vo
[496]
or vti i'll see you all in the comment
