State Street's SPYM Becomes Default for $1,000 Trump Accounts as 0.02% Fee Draws Billions

Summary
$1,000 Trump Accounts for eligible children will default into State Street’s SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF, giving SPYM a built-in role in a new federal-linked savings program.
A 0.02% expense ratio made SPYM the default choice, positioning the fund to capture tens of billions of dollars as millions of accounts are opened.
That potential influx could reshape competition among S&P 500 ETFs, where fee differences are tiny and scale can quickly reinforce market leadership.
The administration says the accounts are meant to give American children an early start in stock-market investing, making SPYM an unexpected corporate beneficiary.
