VOO's trillion-dollar valuation solidifies ETFs as a primary investment vehicle for both retail and institutional capital.

This trend potentially alters corporate governance via passive ownership, as Vanguard, through VOO, becomes an ever more influential voting block in major U.S. corporations, affecting long-term strategic decisions.
