VUSA vs CSPX

Both track the S&P 500 as Ireland-domiciled UCITS ETFs, so the exposure is virtually identical. The real difference is what they do with the dividends.

The bottom line

Same index, same 0.07% TER β€” the choice is income vs growth. VUSA is distributing: it pays the S&P 500 dividends out to you quarterly, which suits income investors. CSPX is accumulating: it reinvests them internally, which is simpler and more tax-efficient if you don't need the cash. Decide on distributing vs accumulating and either is a fine S&P 500 holding.
