Funds that track American stocks. The index you pick matters more than the brand: they hold different companies and behave differently.
Education, not advice. Nothing here recommends buying or selling any fund. Past returns are not used to rank anything. Funds can lose value, and some products carry the credit risk of their issuer.
Examples chosen by size and common use, not a recommendation. The list is not complete and other funds on the same index exist. Annual cost is the figure each issuer publishes (ongoing charge or total expense ratio). Fund size depends on whether the issuer reports the whole fund or one share class; the basis is shown where stated. Past performance is not shown and not used.
The S&P 500 tracks 500 large US companies chosen by an index committee. The Nasdaq-100 tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq. Total-market indexes include small and mid-size companies too. All are concentrated in a small number of very large companies.
US stocks can fall sharply. A fund concentrated in a few giant companies moves with those companies. For a European investor, the dollar can fall against the euro and reduce returns even when stocks rise.
How the tables are built. Every figure was read on 13 October 2026 from the issuer's own page or factsheet, and each fund links to its source. A figure we could not verify is shown as "not verified", never estimated.
First edition: products from iShares, Vanguard, SPDR, Invesco and Amundi. Not a recommendation of any of them.
Across 500 companies, yes, but a few very large ones carry a big share of the index. Check the factsheet.
Often not as a retail client. Many are not available because they lack the EU disclosure document. Ask your broker.
A version that tries to cancel currency moves. It has an extra cost and is not perfect.
