Equal-Weight ETFs Offer Balanced Exposure Amid Market Concentration Risks
The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) presents a compelling alternative to traditional market-cap-weighted index funds like SPY and VOO. With major indexes increasingly dominated by a handful of tech giants, RSP's quarterly rebalancing ensures each of its 500 holdings maintains a fixed 0.2% allocation—mitigating concentration risk while capturing broad market growth.
This strategy proves particularly relevant as AI-driven rallies create valuation disparities. While most stocks MOVE in tandem over time, equal-weight approaches historically outperform during periods of sector rotation. The fund's mechanical rebalancing forces profit-taking on winners and accumulation of undervalued positions—a disciplined approach to market cycles.
