Etf s&p 500

Screening Filters

1. names: ["S&P 500"]

   • Purpose: Restrict results to ETFs explicitly tied to the S&P 500 index.
   • Rationale: You asked for an “ETF S&P 500”, which most commonly means ETFs that track the S&P 500 benchmark. Filtering on the name ensures the ETF’s mandate is clearly S&P 500 exposure, rather than a broader U.S. market or a different large-cap index.

2. themes: ["Large Cap Blend Equities"]

   • Purpose: Focus on ETFs that invest in large-cap U.S. stocks with a “blend” style (i.e., a mix of growth and value).
   • Rationale: The S&P 500 is a large-cap blend index by construction. Limiting to this theme makes sure we’re not pulling in sector-specific, small-cap, value-only, or growth-only funds that would deviate from classic S&P 500 exposure.

3. expense_ratio: {"max": "0.07"}

   • Purpose: Include only low-cost ETFs with an expense ratio at or below 0.07% (7 bps).
   • Rationale: Among S&P 500 ETFs, investors usually prioritize very low fees because they all track essentially the same index. This filter surfaces the most cost-efficient options, which is typically a key criterion when choosing an S&P 500 ETF.

4. monthly_average_dollar_volume: {"min": "2000000"}

   • Purpose: Ensure the ETF trades at least $2 million in dollar volume per month on average.
   • Rationale: Higher trading volume generally means better liquidity and tighter bid–ask spreads, which is important for ETFs you may want to buy or sell easily. For a core S&P 500 ETF, liquidity is a standard requirement.

5. inception_date: {"max": "2015-01-01"}

   • Purpose: Include only ETFs launched on or before January 1, 2015.
   • Rationale: An earlier inception date means a longer performance and tracking history. For an S&P 500 ETF, investors often prefer established funds with a proven track record of closely tracking the index and managing flows efficiently.
