Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating

The Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating is an exchange-traded fund designed to replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Index, which is a widely recognized benchmark encompassing 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States. This ETF employs a physical, full-replication strategy, meaning it holds all the constituent stocks of the S&P 500 in the same proportions as the index itself. Its structure aims for broad, sector-diversified exposure to the U.S. equity market, including key sectors such as technology, financials, and consumer discretionary companies, with significant holdings in giants like NVIDIA and Alphabet Inc. A hallmark of this ETF is its accumulating share class—rather than distributing dividends to shareholders, all dividends received from the underlying securities are automatically reinvested within the fund, potentially enhancing capital growth over time. Launched in May 2019 and domiciled in Ireland, it is managed with a passive investment style, maintaining a low total expense ratio of 0.07% per annum, which supports cost-efficiency for investors. With substantial assets under management, the fund stands as an important vehicle for investors seeking diversified, long-term exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market within a European UCITS-compliant framework.
