SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF: the US market at rock-bottom cost
The State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG) tracks the S&P 500, bundling the 500 largest US companies into a single security. With an expense ratio of just 0.02% and assets under management of $97.3B, it is among the cheapest ways to gain exposure to the US equity market. For investors it offers broad diversification across eleven sectors, while still carrying a heavy weighting toward mega-cap technology names.
Performance at a glance
Returns reflect the strength of large US companies: SPLG is up 10.17% year to date, 21.31% annualized over three years and 14.91% over five years. This was driven largely by the heavyweight technology names. NVIDIA (7.38%), Apple (7.07%) and Microsoft (6.25%) are the largest positions, and the technology sector alone accounts for 35.29%.
The price trades close to its 52-week high of $81.14, well above the low of $56.67. The dividend yield stands at 1.13%. Past returns are no guarantee of future results.
Risk profile
Despite spreading across 500 holdings, concentration is high: the ten largest positions dominate, and the technology sector carries heavy weight at 35.29%. Weakness in the mega-caps would meaningfully drag on the entire index.
For euro-area investors there is also currency risk: SPLG is denominated in US dollars. If the dollar depreciates against the euro, that erodes returns in euro terms, regardless of how the underlying shares perform. On top of this come general equity market risks such as price volatility, interest-rate and economic cycles, as well as a concentration risk on the US market as a whole.
Who is this ETF for?
SPLG suits long-term investors who want low-cost, broad exposure to the US equity market, for example as a core holding in a portfolio or for long-term wealth building through regular savings plans. A horizon of at least ten years helps to ride out interim drawdowns.
It is less suitable for safety-oriented investors with a short horizon who want to avoid sharp swings, and for anyone unwilling to bear US dollar risk. Those seeking global diversification beyond the US, or a lower technology weighting, should also consider complementary or more broadly diversified products.
How it compares to similar ETFs
SPLG competes with other S&P 500 products. Comparable peers include:
- Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) & iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV): track the same index, with similarly low costs and very large fund assets.
- SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY): the oldest and most liquid S&P 500 fund, but with a higher expense ratio.
With near-identical performance, the choice usually comes down to expense ratio, fund size and trading liquidity. At 0.02%, SPLG ranks among the cheapest representatives in its category.
