Are VOO and IVV identical?
VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) and IVV (iShares Core S&P 500 ETF) are not identical but they are similar in nature. Both funds aim to track the performance of the S&P 500 index, which represents the largest publicly traded companies in the United States. However, VOO is managed by Vanguard and IVV is managed by BlackRock's iShares, resulting in slight differences in expense ratios, dividend distributions, and management styles.
