    Vanguard S&P 500 (VUSA*)

    The perennially-popular Vanguard S&P 500 (VUSA) is a mainstay of the best-selling ETFs of the month across the top investment platforms, so it’s no surprise that it came out on top again in January 2023.

    Launched back in 2012, this huge ETF passively tracks the S&P 500 - one of the largest US stock market indices - over in the US, which is made up of large American companies across a range of sectors including technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer cyclical and industrials. Its top 3 holdings at the time of writing are Apple, Microsoft and Amazon. Its job is to pretty much replicate the S&P 500 and that’s what it’s done as shown below.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.
