Happy Birthday S&P 500 SPY ETF! If You Invested $1,000 In SPY At Launch, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) celebrated another birthday, marking its position as the first U.S. ETF since its launch on Jan. 22, 1993. Initially struggling with investor interest, SPY now leads the ETF market with $474 million in assets under management. The ETF's success spurred the creation of similar ETFs like iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund ETF (VOO). The S&P 500 Index saw a significant rebound in 2023, with a 20% increase and a new all-time high, partly due to the performance of technology stocks. A $1,000 investment in SPY at launch would be worth $19,326.69 today when adjusted for dividends, a return of 1,932.7% over 31 years.
