If a Bear Market Is Coming, Is VOO or VTI the Safer Investment?
Yahoo Finance ·
When talking about bear markets, it's a matter of when, not if. Because of that, it's never too early for investors to prepare accordingly. The goal isn't a bear-market-proof portfolio (that's virtually impossible), but rather a foundation that helps you weather the storm. Between the popular Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( VOO -0.49% ) and the broader Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF ( VTI -0.44% ) , which is better suited to ride out a bear market? Let's take a look. VOO mirrors the S&P 500, which tracks the 500 largest U.S. companies on the American stock market. It's by far the most popular index in the stock market. VTI, on the other hand, holds almost every U.S. stock trading on the market. Both are weighted by market cap, so most of the holdings are large caps, though VTI also includes roughly 5.9% in small- and mid-cap stocks.
