How to Buy S&P 500 with Revolut

Investing in the US Stock Market Made Easy

The S&P 500 is an index that tracks the performance of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States. For many, it's the benchmark for the entire stock market. This guide shows you how to buy the S&P 500 with Revolut, making stock market investing more accessible than ever.

Why Invest in the S&P 500?

Instead of picking individual stocks, investing in the S&P 500 gives you instant diversification across the top sectors of the US economy, including technology, healthcare, and finance. It's a popular strategy for long-term, passive growth. An S&P 500 ETF is a fund that holds all the stocks in the index, which you can buy and sell like a single stock.
