#1 - SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY)

If you’re looking for a “set it and forget it” ETF, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) is a great choice. The ETF is benchmarked to the S&P 500 index, which gives investors broad exposure to many of the index's top names. 

This is a market cap-weighted ETF, which means the weight (i.e., the percentage of shares) the ETF invests in any one company will be proportionate to that company’s weight in the S&P 500 index. As of September 2024, approximately 31% of the fund’s holdings are invested in the technology sector, with about 10% of the weighting going equally to semiconductor stocks and software stocks.  

The SPY ETF is passively managed, which is one reason it has an ultra-low expense ratio of 0.09%. The fund also pays a quarterly dividend offering a 1.2% yield and pays out $6.84 per share annually.
