Inside VOO, in plain English

What does VOO actually hold?

VOO holds approximately 518 US-listed stocks, weighted by market cap to mirror the S&P 500. The 10 biggest companies make up about 36% of the fund. Technology is the largest sector at 33%. Vanguard does not pick stocks; the fund mechanically copies whatever the S&P 500 committee lists.

How many companies are in VOO?

VOO holds about 518 stocks, slightly above 500 because several S&P 500 companies (such as Alphabet) have multiple share classes that count separately. The number drifts a few names up or down each quarter as the index committee adds or drops companies.

What is VOO's biggest holding?

As of February 28, 2026, NVIDIA is VOO's largest single holding at 7.31% of the fund, followed by Apple at 6.63% and Microsoft at 4.95%. The top three alone account for about 19% of every dollar invested in VOO.

How often does VOO pay dividends?

Quarterly. Ex-dates fall in late March, June, September, and December, with payment 2 to 4 business days later. The most recent payment was $1.87 per share on March 31, 2026 (ex-date March 27). Trailing 12-month total is approximately $7.13 per share.

What is VOO's expense ratio?

0.03% per year. On $10,000 invested, that is $3 in annual fees. VOO is among the cheapest S&P 500 ETFs available; SPY charges 0.0945% and SPLG charges 0.02% for the same exposure.

When was VOO launched?

September 7, 2010. VOO is younger than competitors SPY (1993) and IVV (2000) but has grown to about $1.5 trillion in assets, making it one of the largest ETFs in the world.
