Overview
Description
Xtrackers S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. This index represents the 500 largest publicly listed U.S. companies, but with a distinctive approach—each constituent receives an equal allocation, regardless of market capitalization. As a result, each stock comprises roughly 0.20% of the index, providing diversified exposure without overweighting the largest firms. The fund spans diverse sectors such as technology, industrials, financials, and health care, mirroring the broad composition of the S&P 500. By using a full physical replication strategy, the ETF holds all index components directly. Launched in 2014, it regularly reinvests dividends, aiming for cumulative growth. This equal-weight methodology offers investors a different risk and return profile compared to market-cap-weighted S&P 500 ETFs, often leading to higher representation of mid-size companies and sector balance. The ETF’s design makes it a significant vehicle for those seeking a diversified, rules-based approach to the U.S. large-cap equity market.
