In this video, I will explain the S&P 500, a term frequently heard in the finance world in only 10 minutes. Do you know what it really is, how it operates, and its historical significance? We'll dive into how the S&P 500, or Standard and Poor’s 500, functions as a market indicator by tracking 500 of the largest companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. Since its inception in 1957, it has become a global benchmark index, representing over $46 trillion in market capitalization and covering 80% of the US stock market's value. Learn why this index is a go-to for long-term investors seeking diversified and balanced investment options.

Over the decades, the S&P 500 has remained resilient, even through numerous economic downturns. In this tutorial, we’ll explore its journey through various financial crises, from the early 1980s recession to the Dot Com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. Despite significant drops during these periods, the index has averaged an impressive annual return of 10.26% over the last seventy years. Discover the key factors that contribute to its recovery and growth, providing valuable insights for your investment strategies.

The S&P 500's ability to adjust and evolve by removing underperforming companies and incorporating strong performers is crucial to its success. In this video, I will discuss how its market capitalization-weighted method affects its performance compared to other indexes like the Dow Jones and NASDAQ Composite. Additionally, I will guide you on how to invest in the S&P 500 through popular ETFs such as Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). Join me as we uncover the reasons behind the S&P 500's enduring popularity and reliability in the world of investing.

Brilliant video! I love it. The price is not looking good now I also adding a lump sum to some etf's performing poorly, This past week has been slaughtering me, at this point I'm worn out worrying about the right etf's to buy.

I've learnt so much more about the S&P500 in this 10-mins video than most other longer videos out there. Thanks Ziet, keep it up!

[limtsekit]

Almost covered everything one needs to know about S&P500. Another informative video as always. Thanks Ziet

[andrewlee]

Excellent video once again! Very useful for average investors ❤

[TriptalkGuy]

Hey Ziet. Currently we are seeing a slight strengthening of the ringgit and a big reasoning behind this being the rumours that the US are going to cut their interest rates. I have two questions.

1) What does it actually mean when a country like America cuts their interest rates and how does it affect them?

2) How will this affect investors such as me who have been investing in the S&P500 for a long period of time. Granted I’m aware that there are highs and lows in everything and my strategy remains to just be consistent and to wave through the storm no matter what but just curious how it will actually affect our portfolios.

Would love if you can make a video regarding this. As always, thanks for creating such amazing content.

Another great video! GOAT of finfluencer🐐🐐

[Billcfc]

Another great video although 10min is too short for me 😅.

Ann idea, why don't you share your portfolio and share tips of how you approach things, you can share it in a % if not comfortable sharing numbers, just an idea I think it will be a great video.

Kepp it up 🎉

[Jason-ruxt]

Personally, which one do you prefer? Accumulating One such as CSPX, or distributing one such as VOO ?

[Ivan-duvu]

Hi Zeit, thank you for your informative videos, really useful. With the faltering US stock market, especially in the tech space, could you perhaps do a video on the AI/Tech bubble and market correction? Should we be buying the dip or is the bubble bound to burst

Would like to get your perspective on this 😊 Thanks!

[supayakamupercaya]

Hi Ziet. Your video has been helpful for a beginner like me.

Can I ask, is it safe for us Malaysians to use interactive brokers since its not officially launched here? If you make a video on it would be great.

Thank you and keep up the good work

[LLChan-mv]

Thanks for the great video. Stamp duty for US fractional shares / ETFs is RM1 for every RM1000 transaction amount, there is no stamp duty if < RM1000 transaction amount?

[ravinsubra]

I've registered using your link. How do I get the extrA RM40?

[leeweeteck]

Good video👍!!! Had subscribe your channel already!😊

[iammclovin]

Hey Zeit,

Yours are probably the most informative videos on investing. Way to go Zeit!

I have been looking for information on investment as I want to invest some money.

What advice would you give it to someone who has a horizon of 15 to 18 years, non US tax resident who wants to invest $200K in diversified ETFs.

Thank you

[TomTom-sqjv]

Hey Ziet, do you think BRK.B can replace the S&P 500 index fund?

[shahashams]

Hi.. Thank you for your videos.. I am an Indian citizen residing in united arab Emirates. Can i trade in us markets using interactive broker... Please give your suggestion.. Thank you🥰🥰

[XiaoXiaoChuxubao]

Hi ziet, love your videos. What are your views on currency risk for someone investing outside the US? E.g. a malaysian investor who earns and spends in the malaysian ringgit.

I’m from Hong Kong, so my home country is pegged to the US dollar. But interested to know your views on the above.

[sanzeq]

Hi Ziet, which etf snp500 got syariah compliant for Muslim to buy
