iShares S&P 500 Equal Weight

ETF description

This ETF seeks to provide exposure to all the companies in the S&P 500 index, but with an equal weighting for each company. This means that, unlike a traditional S&P 500 fund where larger companies dominate the index, every company—big or small—has the same influence on the overall performance. By equally weighting each company, this ETF gives more importance to smaller or mid‑sized firms that may be overlooked in traditional market‑weighted strategies.

Investors who prefer a diversified approach where all companies have equal representation, regardless of their size, might find this ETF appealing.
