A Smart Way to Invest $1,000 Right Now
Yahoo Finance ·
Putting $1,000 to work in today's market might not be as straightforward as it sounds. Many of the world's largest companies already trade at premium valuations, while many others promise to become the next big winner. Either way, it's easy to feel like you're one pick away from getting it all wrong. That's why one of the smartest ways to invest $1,000 right now might be not choosing a single company at all. Instead, you can start with the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( VOO -1.19% ) . Rather than investing in one business, VOO gives investors broad exposure to the S&P 500 index, a collection of 500 of the biggest publicly traded companies in the U.S. The exchange-traded fund ( ETF ) is designed to closely track the S&P 500 while charging an expense ratio of just 0.03%, which makes it one of the lowest-cost ways to invest in large-cap U.S. stocks.
