Investing Port

This ETF gives investors an option for achieving low cost exposure to a broad basket of domestic stocks; the underlying index essentially is created by combining the S&P 500 with popular small cap (600 stocks) and mid cap (400 stocks) indexes as well. As such, ITOT can be a one stop shop for domestic equity exposure, including equities across a number of different sectors and companies of various sizes as well. Relative to other broad-based funds such as IWV and SCHB, this ETF may have a heavier tilt towards large cap companies, making it appealing for investors looking for an equity profile tilted towards the larger companies in an economy. ITOT may be an efficient tool for investors looking for a certain type of U.S. equity exposure, but be advised that there are cheaper options available (such as SCHB, VTI and FMU).
