The iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) holds 3,454 stocks, aiming to invest in almost all U.S. public companies. It is one of the cheapest total-market index funds on the market, with a 0.03% expense ratio. The fund's managers, Michael A. Hulme and Alison F. Horstmeier, aim to give investors a 100% return on the U.S. stock market's performance, before fees and expenses. The fund's benchmark is the S&P 500.

iShares launched ITOT in 1996. It is a long-term, slow (but not zero) turnover index fund. It does not try to guess which stocks will beat the market or rebalance its holdings based on market conditions. As a no-load index fund, it has no 12b-1 marketing fees. Transparency is high. It lists its holdings daily. It is set for investors looking to buy and hold all U.S. public companies and accept market returns for index fund fees lower than actively managed mutual funds. It is one of the cheapest ways to invest in the general U.S. stock market, with a low expense ratio. BlackRock, the largest ETF provider globally, manages it, and Brian DeDuje, Alan Mason, and Michael A Latham are its managers.

ITOT has net assets of about $26.8 billion and 3,454 holdings as of March 2023. It does not try to beat its benchmark, the CRSP US Total Market Index, which includes nearly all US stocks, nor does it have a pre-set risk/return profile or try to rebalance based on price or other factors.

ITOT seeks long-term growth, income, or both. Like the "Total Stock Market" category, it tracks a broad stock market index. It has almost complete exposure to the US market.

It is a no-load fund with a 0.03% annual gross expense ratio. Given the low expense, investors should monitor this fund's tax-efficient returns.

The iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF is one of the least expensive index funds, making it a good option for long-term buy-and-hold investors who want to track the US stock market.
