VTI is one of the well-known ETFs available in the market offered by Vanguard

The reason that I like this ETF is simple:

1. It is a blend of mega, mid, small and micro capitalizations.
2. Similar to VOO. (VTI passively tracks the CRSP US Total Market Index, while VOO tracks the S&P 500 Index).
3. Cost less than VOO to own. As of Feb 2024, VTI is around $250 while VOO is around $460.
4. Covers a broad sector range. Well diversified.

5. Low expense ratio of 0.03% whereas similar funds would have expense ratios of 0.79%.
