You Can Do Better Than the S&P 500: Buy This ETF Instead
It's not easy to beat the market. Only 8% of active large-cap fund managers have outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 15 years. Those who simply invested in an S&P 500 index fund, therefore, beat 92% of professional money managers.
If you want to invest successfully, one of your best options is to stick with the S&P 500. But what if you want even more growth? The Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT: VB) could be your best bet.
When it comes to investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there's one thing you should try to minimize: the expense ratio. This is what the fund charges you each year for investing in it.
