Six of the best US ETFs
By , 14 Aug 17
Passive funds have enjoyed a stellar time in the US as valuations ride higher and higher. Here, IG Group’s Oliver Smith looks at the six best ETFs to access booming US markets.
1) iShares Core S&P 500
In the saturated market of US passive funds and ETFs, Smith points out the iShares Core for tracking the S&P 500.
Fees are low and Smith dubbed it a “solid” choice in a highly competitive market.
He said: “With fees of just 0.07%, a bid-ask spread of 0.04% and outperformance of benchmark of 2.1% over the past five years, this a solid choice to get market cap index exposure to the US.
“It re-invests its dividends, which should also help lower transaction cost for long-term holders.”
