The ETF provides exposure to influential companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. Despite risks from concentration in top companies, the S&P 500 index fund has consistently generated attractive returns. Buffett believes it's the best way for average investors to gain stock market exposure, as beating the S&P 500 is challenging even for professionals.
