The 'VOO And Chill' Economy Is Now Worth A Historic $1 Trillion

Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has become the first ETF to surpass $1 trillion in assets under management, surpassing SPY as the world's largest ETF. The milestone reflects the dominance of passive investing and low-cost index funds, with VOO attracting $250 billion in assets during 2025 alone. The fund's success demonstrates investors' preference for simple, diversified market exposure over active stock picking.
