VOO vs. VTI: Which Vanguard Fund Is the Better Buy Right Now?

The article compares two Vanguard ETFs: VOO (S&P 500 ETF) and VTI (Total Stock Market ETF). While both are dominated by large-cap stocks with 88% overlap, VTI includes additional small-cap exposure across 3,500+ companies. The author recommends VOO over VTI in the current environment, citing concerns that small-cap stocks are vulnerable to sustained higher interest rates due to their higher debt loads, which could create performance drag for VTI.
