DIA’s 186.7% return lags S&P 500’s 314.79% over the past decade
DIA has gained 186.7% over the past decade, underperforming the S&P 500’s 314.79% return.
The performance gap is largely due to DIA’s price-weighted design, which reduces exposure to large-cap stocks.
DIA’s expense ratio is higher than its peers, with a cost of $500 on a $10,000 balance, compared to $3 for VOO.
This has resulted in a $128K hidden cost over the past decade, highlighting the importance of considering fees when investing.
