RISK & INCOME SCORES
78
Risk Score
Lower volatility and drawdowns than most category peers.
66
Income Score
Income generation is mid-pack for the category.
Risk Score: Blends volatility, maximum drawdown, downside deviation, and beta. Higher means LESS risky than peers — a 90 is a calm fund, a 10 is a wild one. Income Score: Blends yield, distribution growth, and consistency. Higher means stronger, steadier income than peers. Warnings Flag: Appears when our automated checks find structural concerns (leverage, low liquidity, high fees, concentration, and so on). The color reflects the most severe finding; details are on the Investor Warnings page.
BUSINESS SUMMARY
The investment seeks to track the performance of the Standard & Poor‘s 500 Index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks. The fund manager employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance that is dominated by the stocks of large U.S. companies. The advisor attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. The fund is non-diversified. The current manager has run the fund for 8.8 years.

HISTORICAL TRENDS
Calendar-year results from year-end snapshots. Diamonds mark the category average.
Total Return by Year (%)
Sharpe Ratio by Year
Distribution Yield by Year (%)
VOO beat its category average in 9 of the last 10 calendar years.
Distribution Yield: Total distributions paid that year as a percent of the year-end price. For funds this includes capital-gains distributions, so it can spike in years with large realized gains.
Sharpe Ratio: Return earned above the risk-free rate per unit of volatility — risk-adjusted performance. Higher is better; a negative year means the fund underperformed Treasury bills.

3-year risk-adjusted returns beat the category (Sharpe 1.29 vs 1.15).
Volatility (σ): The standard deviation of returns — how widely results swing around their average. Higher numbers mean a bumpier ride. Beta: Sensitivity to S&P 500 moves. A beta of 1.2 tends to move 20% more than the market in both directions; below 1 means more muted moves. Sharpe Ratio: Return earned above the risk-free rate per unit of volatility. Higher is better; negative means the fund underperformed Treasury bills. Sortino Ratio: Like the Sharpe ratio, but only penalizes downside swings — useful when upside volatility should not count against a fund. Max Drawdown: The deepest peak-to-trough loss over the window. Closer to zero is better; it answers "how bad did it get?" Upside / Downside Capture: The share of the S&P 500's gains (and losses) the fund participated in. The ideal combination is high upside capture with low downside capture. Downside Deviation: Volatility computed from negative returns only — the input to the Sortino ratio.

Expense Ratio: The annual management fee as a percentage of your investment, deducted from fund assets automatically. 12b-1 Fee: A recurring marketing and distribution charge some mutual funds levy — part of the expense ratio that buys you no management. Turnover Ratio: How much of the portfolio is replaced each year. High turnover raises trading costs and, in taxable accounts, capital-gain distributions. Tracking Error: How far an index fund's returns have strayed from its benchmark. A faithful index fund should be near zero. Tax-Cost Ratio: Morningstar's estimate of the annual return lost to taxes on distributions for an investor in the top federal bracket. Premium / Discount: The gap between an ETF's market price and the value of its holdings (NAV). Persistent premiums mean you overpay buying; discounts shortchange you selling. Dollar Volume: Average daily trading value. Thinly traded ETFs have wider spreads and are harder to exit near fair value.

SEC 30-Day Yield: A standardized yield all funds compute the same way: the last 30 days of interest and dividend income, net of expenses, annualized. It reflects current holdings and rates, so it is the best number for comparing funds. An asterisk means fee waivers are propping it up.

METRICS VS PEERS
Report Tips
- Scores (Risk, Income) are percentile ranks within the ETF's subgroup cohort — higher is better for risk-adjusted performance and income.
- Category comparisons use Morningstar's fund category. Peer comparisons on Pages 6-7 use the 14 closest funds by sector, region, style, and expense.
- Tracking error and relative-performance charts are dividend-adjusted. A 5-year growth-of-$10K curve is used for long-run comparisons.
- For leveraged or inverse ETFs, long-horizon metrics are flagged and should not be interpreted as buy-and-hold returns.
