IVV vs ITOT
iShares Core S&P 500 ETF against iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF: 4 years of returns, risk and today’s technical read, from Kavout’s own data.
IVV did better over the period: $1,000 invested on October 28, 2022 grew to $2,064, versus $2,018 for ITOT, a 106.4% gain compared with 101.8%. IVV also led over one, three, and six months, YTD, and one year, although the differences were modest and both funds moved almost identically, with a 0.996 daily correlation. IVV’s edge likely reflects its greater concentration in large-cap U.S. companies, which outperformed the broader market during this period. The trade-off was slightly lower risk: 12-month volatility was 12.7% for IVV versus 13.0% for ITOT, and its worst drawdown was -18.8% versus -19.4%. Both charge a 0.03% expense ratio, so the choice is primarily between IVV’s stronger recent performance and ITOT’s broader market coverage.
