There is so little difference that it’s not worth spending more than a minute on. Buy either one, or go with SPLG since it has a slightly smaller expense ratio.

It’s like buying two ripe bananas with different brands. VOO has 10x the assets, but they are both fairly liquid.

VOO and SPLG have such similar performance and expense ratios that either is fine.

If SPLG does change its index in the future, that would actually make it useful for tax loss harvesting VOO and vice versa.

Why would voo rebalance more? That funds has orders of magnitude more assets, and a similarly larger cash position to weather buys and sells.

I think smaller funds typically rebalance more due to higher tracking error and fewer opportunities for round lots within the budget’s constraints.

Until you have $10,000,000 invested in either one, your savings will be under $1,000 per year at best, all other things being equal.

If that kind of spread matters, consider something like FZROX, with a 0% expense ratio (I don’t personally think it’s worth time and effort fussing over these negligible costs, but if one wants to hyper-optimize, it’s silly to stop half way).

If you sell options SPLG could be more cost efficient, but less liquid.

I picked splg just because it was the lowest expense ratio ETF I could find. Otherwise I would prob go with fxaix or fzrox.

VOO I’m doing for fun in a taxable account whenever I get random refunds or rewards once I get $10+ saved it’s up to half a share already.
