VOO is Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF and one of the most popular long-term investment vehicles for individual investors. It tracks the same 500 companies as SPY but at a slightly lower expense ratio. Over decades, small differences in fees compound meaningfully.
Vanguard's ownership structure is unique: the firm is owned by its funds, which are owned by their investors. This alignment means Vanguard has a structural incentive to minimize costs rather than maximize profits, which has made it the long-term low-cost leader in index investing.
Warren Buffett recommended VOO specifically in his 2013 shareholder letter. He instructed the trustee of his estate to put 90% of his wife's inheritance into a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund and suggested Vanguard's.
