The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) is a massive investment fund with $1.8 trillion in assets. It provides exposure to the U.S. market with a portfolio of 3,500 companies, including large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks.

Consider the Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF (EQAL) as an alternative to VTI. It holds all 1,000 stocks in the Russell 1000 index in equal proportions, offering broad market exposure with a 0.20% expense ratio.

VTI’s top-heavy nature, with 6% of assets in Microsoft alone, is a concern. EQAL’s equal-weight approach reduces reliance on a few companies for returns, making it a compelling option for investors seeking diversified exposure.
