  • VOO vs VTI: Weighing large-cap focus against the total stock market
    January 17, 2026, 12:30 PM EST. Choosing between VOO and VTI comes down to view on small-caps. VOO tracks the S&P 500-roughly 500 of the largest U.S. companies-with heavy megacap tech weightings. VTI covers those firms and more than 3,500 additional stocks across large-, mid-, and small-cap. Expense ratios are both 0.03%. Over five years, the S&P 500 averaged 14.45%, versus 13.05% for the Total Stock Market ETF, a small gap driven by tech-led gains. Recently, large-cap leadership narrowed as the cycle shifted and small caps weighed on performance. In early 2026, the S&P 500 ETF lagged the broader market year-to-date. For the long run, both are solid options; the choice hinges on whether you want small caps in your portfolio.
