VTI or VOO
Posted on 6/5/25 at 6:39 am

Looking to dump 50k and add over 3k a month. Over 15 years to retirement. VTI or VOO? Minimal difference?
Already maxing 401 and Roth. This would be a traditional brokerage account

can't go wrong with either. Personally I'd go VOO

I’ve been putting into VTSAX for years into my Roth, before VOO existed. Pros/cons of switching? Have about $260k between mine/wife’s Roths.

MB: VOO vs VTI
This has been discussed a few times. I think basically it comes down to preference.
I have all VOO in my Roth and a little VTI, VTV, VONE and VYM in my brokerage.

VTSAX Mutual Fund is more equivalent to VTI etf. Both offer full stock market diversification. VOO is a weighted average S&P, a bit more targeted.

VTI for when small caps make a comeback

Difference is minimal, voo has outperformed last 15 years or so based on heavier weighting of big tech.

50% in each

Minimal difference. VTI you could say has a little broader diversification since it is a total market index vs VOO which is an S&P 500 index, but again, minimal impactful difference.
VOO is heavier weighted in tech stocks. So, if you already have a decent amount of tech stock holdings, maybe VTI. If not, maybe VOO.
Or do a split of the two.

VTI vs VOO Portfolios Lab
I have my ETFs in VOO, but VTI isn't bad either. Looks like dividends are about the same, slightly better returns the past few years for VOO. Can't go wrong w/ either.

I own both but for some reason have been only buying VOO lately. I think either are great choices.

I think small caps are now an inferior asset class and VTI includes them. However, it could outperform VOO for a short period if interest rates start coming down.

I have 75% VTI and 25% VUG in my brokerage. The VUG is mostly large cap/tech, and it’s worked well.

Is this good for long term or shorten in brokerage account. I may want to sell what I have in individual stocks and let this ride a bit.

Long term, both are index funds. Unless you just don't like the current individual stocks you are holding, why not keep them if you have some good cost positions in them, and just redirect some new money to these?

In theory, they are the same. A company will be added to the 500 if they rise enough, like Nvidia did.

Guess that’s the problem. I’m trying to have the brokerage account grow on its own and not add anything else at the moment (sort of limited with the rest of the accounts maxing and . I feel like this one stock is about capped out. I got a great return but I doubt it moves much higher. Maybe I use those quarterly dividends and put it in those.

VTI feels like an extinct approach. The gap between SP500 and small caps continues to increase, and any small cap with potential is acquired by a large cap. At best the benefit of the broader exposure is a rounding error.

Yea I gotcha. Could definitely use the dividends to purchase VOO or whatever.
There is nothing wrong with selling a stock and doing whatever you want with it as far as a different investment. If the individual stocks are not something you were looking to buy and hold long term and you think one is about at the top, I don't see an issue with doing that, if that's what you decide

I’ve started investing in SCHX. Believe it’s the top 750 companies
