SPYSPY

Tracks the S&P 500

A fund that holds the S&P 500’s members in the index’s own proportions, so the biggest companies count the most. Buying one share is shorthand for owning the whole index.

Why we track it

It is how most readers would actually hold the index, and it is the cap-weighted half of the equal-weight comparison we run every month.
