Largest ETFs Worldwide by Assets Under Management
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), launched in 1993 as the first U.S.-listed ETF, remains the most traded ETF in the world. What started as a single fund tracking the S&P 500 has grown into a global industry of more than 14,000 ETFs worth over $13 trillion in total.
Three U.S. asset managers dominate the largest ETFs by AUM:
- BlackRock (iShares): The world’s largest asset manager and the biggest ETF issuer by both number of funds and total assets. Key funds include the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA).
- Vanguard: Uniquely structured as a company owned by its fund shareholders. Its Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), and Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) consistently rank among the largest ETFs worldwide.
- State Street (SPDR): Creator of SPY and issuer of the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which debuted in 2004 as a way to hold gold through a standard brokerage account.
- Invesco: Known primarily for the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), the largest ETF tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, with roughly 60% of its weight in technology stocks.
The list of the largest ETFs skews heavily toward U.S. equities. Three of the biggest funds — VOO, IVV, and SPY — all track the same S&P 500 Index, which captures about 85% of the U.S. stock market. Beyond equities, the top ranks include bond funds like the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and commodity vehicles like GLD. Although over 90% of ETF assets sit in passive, index-based funds, actively managed ETFs are gaining traction.
