FXAIX and VOO both track the S&P 500 index, and the performance is virtually identical, around 14-15% annually over the past decade.
The main difference?
FXAIX is Fidelity's mutual fund with a super cheap 0.015% expense ratio, while VOO is Vanguard's ETF at 0.03%. That's a tiny cost difference (we're talking maybe $1.50 per $10k invested annually) — basically meaningless. The real decision comes down to structure and where you're investing.
If you're using a Fidelity account or want to set-and-forget with automatic dividend reinvestment in a retirement account, FXAIX is perfect. If you prefer ETFs, want to trade throughout the day, or you're investing in a taxable account where tax efficiency matters more, go with VOO.
