I'm an EU citizen and I can buy, e.g, the iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF (ISIN IE0031442068) which gives me access to the S&P 500 and is as cheap as it can get.

- chvid 7y agoThe spy etf has better liquidity and (probably) lower costs.
- pmyteh 7y agoMaybe the liquidity (though for a buy-and-hold retail investor the iShares has plenty) but the costs are comparably minuscule for both: <0.1% pa.
- seppel 7y agoThe iShares one is actually cheaper (TER of 0.07% vs. 0.09%) but it seems its tracking difference is worse (for the last years), so it seems the SPDR performs better. However, you can also buy the Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF in Europe, which has also has a TER of 0.07% but an even better tracking difference than SPDR. I don't think liqudity is a problem for such huge funds.
