VTI vs ITOT: What's the Better Total Market ETF Buy?
2026-01-18 14:15:00 ET
A simple way to build out the foundation of a long-term portfolio and diversify it is to use total market funds. Whether focused on stocks or bonds, these funds give you the entire market under a single ticker symbol . If you find the right one, it will probably be incredibly cheap to own, too.
Two of the biggest (and best) are the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) and the iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: ITOT) . And on the surface, the two ETFs look identical. But, as is the case with many ETFs, you sometimes need to dig deep into the details to determine if one is a better buy.
