The S&P 500 index measures the intraday value of the 500 largest stocks listed in U.S. stock exchanges. SPY’s annual expense ratio is 0.09% and the Fund is considered to be tax-efficient. It is structured as a unit investment trust (UIT) to protect the Fund from management error. The following profile and scorecard support a long-term investment in SPY.
