Options like the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) are popular options for exposure to the index and offer relatively low expense ratios, which help to ensure that you\u2019ll see more returns as the S&amp;P 500 grows.<\/p><p>One of the best reasons to invest in the S&amp;P 500 is that the index offers instant diversification as opposed to picking a handful of stocks to build your portfolio. As an index that tracks the performance of the 500 best-performing companies in the United States, adding exposure in your portfolio means that you\u2019re supported by the very best of US businesses.\"<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"eeQuote__authorInfo\">\n                                            <div class=\"eeQuote__authorPhoto--mobile\">\n                            <figure class=\"eeQuote__photo\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Iv\u00e1n Marchena's headshot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/Ivan-Marchena.jpg\" class=\"avatar avatar-200 photo finder-avatar\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/Ivan-Marchena.jpg?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/Ivan-Marchena.jpg?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/Ivan-Marchena.jpg?fit=600 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\n                            <\/figure>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"eeQuote__authorDetails\">\n                                                    <a class=\"eeQuote__authorName\" href=\"https:\/\/j2t.com\/\" itemprop=\"url\" target=\"_blank\">\n                                Iv\u00e1n Marchena\n                            <\/a>\n                                                                            <div class=\"eeQuote__authorTitle\">Senior Economist at Just2Trade<\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Two ways to invest in the S&amp;P 500<\/h3><p>You can\u2019t invest directly in the S&amp;P 500, as it\u2019s just an index that tracks stock performance. It\u2019s not a fund that holds stocks for investors. But there are a couple of ways you can invest in S&amp;P 500 companies.<\/p><h4>1. Buy shares of an S&amp;P 500 ETF or mutual fund<\/h4><p>The easiest way to invest in the S&amp;P 500 is to invest in either an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">exchange-traded fund (ETF)<\/a> or mutual fund that consists of stocks listed in the S&amp;P 500. Funds that track an index like the S&amp;P 500 are known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/how-to-invest-in-index-funds\">index funds<\/a>.<\/p><p>S&amp;P 500 index funds offer exposure to the index\u2019s top constituents\u2014Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft etc.\u2014and provide a great, low-cost way to diversify your portfolio. Since most funds should (in theory) achieve similar returns, performance may not be the most important factor when deciding where to invest.

Since 2009, the index has been profitable every year except for 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2022.<\/p><p>However, with inflation, interest rates and economic instability concerning investors, the S&amp;P 500 will mimic what the overall market is doing. Remember that the S&amp;P 500 tracks large cap US companies, so if the overall US (and global) economy is down, indices that track the market will be as well.<\/p><p>Economic dips are temporary, and S&amp;P 500 ETFs are focused on the long game. So far, the index has bounced back from every crash, bear market and recession in history. While no investments are immune to market downturns, many experts view the S&amp;P 500 ETFs as likely to eventually bounce back.<\/p><h3>Why should I invest in the S&amp;P 500 index from Canada?<\/h3><ul><li><strong>Access<\/strong>. The S&amp;P 500 features some of the largest and most successful companies in the world and has historically given investors a decent return on their investment. For a stock to be considered for the S&amp;P 500 it must have a market cap of at least $22.7 billion USD.<\/li><li><strong>Diversification<\/strong>. Investing in the S&amp;P 500 allows you to gain exposure to 500 different companies at once, which diversifies your portfolio. Diversification is important because if one stock in the index drops, your entire portfolio doesn\u2019t necessarily drop too.<\/li><li><strong>Convenience<\/strong>. The index itself aims to track the market, which makes it a convenient way to diversify your portfolio without having to buy and sell a number of individual stocks.<\/li><\/ul><p>Keep in mind that the stocks in the index are all large, household name companies, which opens you up to the potential gains offered by large US stocks. However, since the index is comprised of entirely US companies, your portfolio will take a hit if the US economy (and likely the global economy) suffers.<\/p><h3 id=\"compare\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Pros and cons of investing in the S&amp;P 500<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li><strong>Exposure to America's leading companies.<\/strong> Gain exposure to America's most influential companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google (Alphabet) with a single purchase.<\/li>\n                                    <li><strong>Instant diversification.<\/strong> Buying a single share of an S&amp;P 500 index fund will give you exposure to 500 companies, immediately diversifying your portfolio.<\/li>\n                                    <li><strong>Competitive long-term performance.<\/strong> The S&amp;P 500's net total annualized return over the past decade is 13.48% (as of May 2026).<\/li>\n                                    <li><strong>Ease of investing.<\/strong> Unless you're buying individual stocks, buying shares of an S&amp;P 500 index fund limits the amount of time needed for research and gets you in the market quicker.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li><strong>Only includes US companies<\/strong>.

(DOW) and Crown Castle (CCI), issue dividend-paying stocks, which you can buy if you want to earn a stream of investment revenue.\r\rSome ETFs and mutual funds that hold shares in S&P 500 companies may also pay dividends, including the Fidelity 500 Index Fund (FXAIX) and the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (SPYD). You may be able to choose between having dividends paid out to you (as a \"distribution\") or having dividends rolled back in to your fund (known as \"accumulation\").\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can beginners invest in the S&P 500?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rOne of the best ways for beginners to invest in the S&P 500 in Canada is by buying shares of a cheap, passive ETF or index fund that tracks the index's performance.
