Investing in the S&P 500 offers broad exposure to the U.S. stock market, but it only represents a portion of it. As of September 30, the S&P 500’s market capitalization is approximately $57.05 trillion, compared to $67.77 trillion for the entire market, leaving many companies excluded. To access these non-S&P 500 firms, investors can consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like the Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT: VO) and Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT: VB) for diversification.
