IVV: all at once or every month?
Take $12,000: all of it on day one, or $1,000 a month for a year. Across every starting month since 2000 (307 of them), the lump sum was ahead after 12 months in 233 (76%). The lump sum usually won, but roughly one start in 4 favored spreading it out. The best case for monthly investing was a start in May 2008, when it finished the year 40% ahead.
Worst drop
IVV's worst fall in this history was -50.8%, a loss of more than half, from October 2007 to February 2009. Getting back to the old high took until March 2012: 37 months from the bottom and 4.4 years from the peak. $1,000 invested at that peak shrank to about $492 at the low.
IVV dividends
IVV paid $8.40 per share over the last 12 months, quarterly. At $736.21 that is 1.14%, a small yield; nearly all of the return has come from the price. From 2020 to 2025 the yearly payout grew +6.4% a year, steadily. The yearly total fell in 2016, 2020, 2021. Fund payouts move around with what the holdings pay, so a lower year is not a cut in the usual sense.
| Year | Dividends / share | Change | Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $8.04 | +5.2% | 1.17% |
| 2024 | $7.64 | +10.8% | 1.30% |
| 2023 | $6.90 | +7.9% | 1.44% |

IVV is BlackRock's S&P 500 fund. It holds the same 500 companies as VOO and SPY and charges the same low fee as VOO, so the choice between IVV and VOO usually comes down to which broker or fund family you already use.
IVV's history goes back to 2000, a decade longer than VOO's, so it shows how an S&P 500 fund did through the dot-com crash and the 2008 crisis.
IVV, VOO or SPY?
All three hold the S&P 500, so over any long period their returns differ by a few hundredths of a percent a year, mostly the fee. IVV and VOO both charge 0.03%; SPY charges about three times that. The practical difference is where you hold them: some brokers reward using their own family of funds, and in some retirement plans only one of them is offered. IVV's extra decade of history compared with VOO is why this page can show the 2000 to 2002 crash and 2008 for an ultra-low-cost S&P 500 fund.
