SPY ETF's 0.0945% fee costs long-term investors thousands more than cheaper rivals.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) charges a 0.0945% expense ratio, higher than its peers Vanguard's VOO and iShares' IVV at 0.03%. This difference, though small annually, can cost investors thousands over decades due to compounding. SPY's unique unit investment trust structure prevents dividend reinvestment and securities lending, reducing returns compared to open-end ETFs like VOO and IVV. While SPY offers superior liquidity for traders, long-term investors may benefit more from cheaper alternatives with identical index exposure.

As of Sep 25, 2026 05:01 WIB, VOO trades at USD 706.42 with a slight 0.17% decline on Pluang, showing steady investor interest with 89% buy activity. IVV is priced at USD 770.13, down 0.14%, and sees a higher sell ratio of 78%, reflecting varied investor strategies. These figures highlight the active trading environment for cheaper S&P 500 ETF alternatives compared to SPY's expense considerations.
