SPY vs IWM: ETF Showdown

from The Daily News Now! Business

Two popular ETFs, SPY and IWM, offer distinct views of the U.S. economy. SPY, with $753.9 billion assets, tracks large-cap stocks, while IWM, with $78.7 billion, focuses on small-caps. Over the past year, IWM outperformed SPY, but SPY had a milder max drawdown. SPY, launched in 1993, is seen as a safe bet, while IWM, with its higher potential, is for those willing to weather market fluctuations. SPY is heavy on tech, while IWM spreads across various sectors. Ultimately, blending these ETFs can help manage risk and gain a balanced view of the economy.
