About SPY Dividends

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is issued by State Street. The original exchange-traded fund in the U.S. (launched January 1993). Tracks the S&P 500 Index with $720B+ AUM — one of the three largest ETFs globally alongside VOO and IVV. Expense ratio 0.09% (slightly higher than VOO's 0.03%), forward yield ~1%, quarterly distributions. Remains the deepest-liquidity S&P 500 vehicle for traders, market-makers, and options flow — buy-and-hold investors usually prefer VOO for the lower fee.
