SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by SPDR (State Street), classified by Morningstar as Large Blend and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 22 January 1993. It is listed on NYSE Arca in USD under the ticker SPY, ISIN SPY.

It belongs to the S&P 500 family. The S&P 500 brings together 500 of the largest listed companies in the United States. It's probably the most followed index in the world and the one with the most product behind it, both as ETFs and as index funds.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The investment seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500® Index. The trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by holding a portfolio of the common stocks that are included in the index (the “Portfolio”), with the weight of each stock in the Portfolio substantially corresponding to the weight of such stock in the index.

Financial Times

Being a US index, most of these products trade or are denominated in dollars even when you buy them from Europe. That means your result in euros also depends on the exchange rate, not just on what the index does. Some products offer a currency-hedged version precisely to neutralise that.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.

S&P 500 ETFs and index funds

• Open Neto and go to Investments (a Neto PRO feature).
• Search for the product by ISIN (funds) or by ticker (ETFs).
• Enter your units and your average purchase price.
• The app updates the price and recalculates your net worth on its own.

Everything you add feeds the same number you see on the main screen, so you don't keep one app for spending and another for investments: it's the same picture.
