  "summary": "Warren Buffett has recommended low-fee S&P 500 index funds, citing Vanguard's as a prime example. In his 2013 letter to shareholders, he wrote about directing his trustee to put 90% of a bequest to his wife into a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund, suggesting Vanguard's.\n\nA $10,000 investment in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) a decade ago would be worth $38,212, according to Yahoo Finance. If dividends had been reinvested, the investment would be worth $41,688.\n\nThe past 15 years have been unusually strong for the stock market, with the S&P 500 averaging annual returns that are not specified, as per Yahoo Finance.",
