  • S&P 500 Gains 24% Since Trump's 2024 Win: $10,000 Now Worth $12,600
    June 25, 2026, 4:34 PM EDT. A $10,000 investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) the day after Donald Trump's 2024 election victory would be worth about $12,600 as of June 2026, reflecting a 24% price gain including dividends. The fund tracks the 500 largest U.S. companies, heavily weighted toward a few mega-cap AI-exposed stocks. Despite geopolitical shocks like the 2026 Iran war scare, patient holders were rewarded, while those who sold seek lower re-entry points. SPY's one-year return reached 22% with a year-to-date gain of 8.4%. Over five and ten years, the ETF delivered 85% and 325% returns respectively, outperforming high-yield savings accounts. Concentration risk in top holdings and dividend reinvestment are key considerations for investors.
