Vanguard S&P 500 (Dist) is a equity ETF from Vanguard tracking the S&P 500 index through physical (full) replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2012, the fund manages about 45.3 bn € and charges a TER of 0.07% — 7 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is paid out to investors periodically (distributing).
Vanguard S&P 500 (Dist) competes with 37 other products on the same index (S&P 500): it ranks 2nd by fund size and 12th by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.07% against a group median of 0.08%. It has been listed since 2012, 14 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 7 € a year. The cheapest of the group is State Street SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF-UHG at 0.03%, or 3 € on the same amount: a difference of 4 € every year, roughly 40 € over ten years before compounding.
Replication is physical and full: the fund actually holds every security in the index, in the index weights.
Income is distributed periodically: it produces cash flow, but reinvesting it is up to you if the goal is capital growth. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
