OEIC or ETF for S&P500?

aroominyork · 2018-08-25 12:12:06

What are relative merits of an OEIC or an ETF to invest in the S&P500? I get the impression the pros favour ETFs but from what I can see OEICs edge it: comparing HSBC American Index to HPSX or VUSA, the ETF charges are a fraction higher and there is also a small spread.

OK, thanks bowlhead. This is now beyond my level of understanding... swaps, derivatives etc., so since I've gained what I wanted from this thread - and thanks, All - I'll stop trying to be clever!
