On Wednesday, the combined assets invested in the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the State Street SPDR Porfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) passed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. SPY, the first-ever U.S.
SPYM beats VOO on price by one basis point, but the fine print buried under its performance table reveals something most investors never check before making the comparison.
Looking for broad exposure to the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market? You should consider the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on November 8, 2005.
The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF offers ultra-low fees (0.02%) and is well-suited for long-term and tactical allocation versus SPY. Energy and real estate are significantly undervalued relative to 11-year averages, while technology and materials are overvalued. Rising rates, high short interest, technical signals, and seasonality raise correction risk, though no bear market signal is present.
The S&P 500 median company is overvalued by 5.75% versus 11-year historical averages, with quality scores slightly above baseline. Energy leads in value and quality; real estate and healthcare are undervalued, while technology and materials are notably overvalued. Despite strong earnings growth, correction risks are signaled by high short interest, technical indicators, narrow market breadth, and an interest rate uptrend.
SPY built its reputation tracking the S&P 500 for over three decades, but a lesser-known rival now holds a structural and cost advantage that quietly compounds against long-term SPY holders every single year.
The S&P 500 has closed at a new record high some 25 times this year, the most recent taking place just last week.
