IVV in Focus

The fund's goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the S&P 500 Index. It has AUM of $282.87 billion and charges 3 basis points in annual fees.

Why the Move?

Wall Street cheered President Joe Biden’s announcement of the White House striking an infrastructure deal with a bipartisan group of senators. Moreover, the U.S. economy seems to be on the path of recovery from the pandemic-led slowdown. Markedly, accelerated vaccine distribution, strong fiscal stimulus support and the reopening of non-essential businesses are expected to fasten the pace of economic recovery. Furthermore, certain economic data releases are pointing toward economic recovery. This is making funds like IVV an attractive investment option.
