What the Fund Holds

The portfolio contains 505 stocks at 30 September 2026, weighted in the same proportions as the index. Full replication means the fund owns every constituent, which supports close tracking of the index. The median Market Capitalisation of holdings is about $462 billion, reflecting the size of the companies included.

Information technology accounts for 39.70 per cent of the portfolio, followed by financials at 11.40 per cent, communication services at 9.90 per cent and health care at 9.30 per cent. Energy, materials and real estate each carry less than 4 per cent, so the index's sector weights largely shape the fund's day-to-day movement.

Concentration at the Top

The largest holdings are NVIDIA at 8.39 per cent, Apple at 7.38 per cent and Microsoft at 5.78 per cent. Amazon, both Alphabet share classes, Broadcom, Meta, Micron and Tesla complete the top ten. Because index weights follow market value, the largest companies have the greatest influence on the fund's result.

The concentration means that a small group of technology-led companies carries a substantial share of the portfolio. Investors should view the fund's exposure as closely linked to those names, even though the fund holds 505 companies in total.

Costs, Distributions and Trading

The expense ratio is 0.03 per cent a year, which equates to about $3 annually on a $10,000 holding. The 30-day SEC Yield of 1.02 per cent indicates the income generated by the portfolio over that period, and the fund pays distributions on a quarterly schedule.

Units trade on the exchange at market price, which remains close to net asset value. The fund is an exchange-traded Share Class of Vanguard 500 Index Fund, and the product literature sets out details on tax treatment and distribution timing.

Final Word

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF offers exposure to 500 large U.S. companies at an expense ratio of 0.03 per cent a year, with a portfolio weighted towards information technology and a top ten that carries a substantial share of the fund. The market price moved modestly on 6 November and closely matched net asset value. Investors weighing the fund against their own objectives will find the prospectus and product literature the most detailed references.
