Market Cap vs Equal Weight
The Equal Weight version of the S&P 500® Index started trading on January 8, 2003. Since that date, it would have grown a $10,000 portfolio to $82,267 while the Market Cap version of the S&P 500 Index grew to $62,755 during the same period (as of 12/31/22, no fees considered).
This is a hypothetical illustration and does not include fees nor does it represent any actual investment. You cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Index returns are not fund returns.
S&P 500® INDEX Cycles:
4 out of the last 5 years were won by the market cap version of the S&P 500® Index. However, the previous 5 year period was won by the equal weight version of the S&P 500® Index. YTD 2022 the equal weight is squarely back on top (as of 12/31/22).
Are we heading into a new multi-year cycle?
THE S&P 500® EQUAL WEIGHT INDEX FIELD
Only 3 funds track the Equal Weight version of the S&P 500® Index.
And only INDEX has an open proxy process, is founder run, and helps break the monopoly*.
*We define monopoly as the top five index fund companies owning over 90% of the index fund market.

Is your index fund TOP HEAVY?
The market cap formula heavily favors the mega caps at the expense of the other companies in the portfolio.
In fact, the LARGEST 5 COMPANIES account for the same weighting as the BOTTOM 369 COMPANIES.
As of 06/30/2023
TOO MUCH TECH in your portfolio?
Tech is great but 37% may be too much volatility for some portfolios. The equal weight version of the S&P 500® Index cuts tech exposure by half.
After crash ALPHA?
Directly following the last 2 major stock market crashes, the S&P 500® EQUAL WEIGHT INDEX rebounded much faster than the CAP-WEIGHTED S&P 500® INDEX.
And the ALPHA* WAS SIGNIFICANT.
+13.17% from 2003-2004
+26.70% from 2009-2010
*We define alpha as an investment strategy’s ability to beat the market.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Short term performance does not equal long term performance. Indexes are not managed, it is not possible to invest directly in an index. *Source: ONEFUND as of 12/31/2022
THE INDEPENDENT ALTERNATIVE
Don't feed the giants by buying another institutional index fund.
The first S&P 500® Index Fund to open up the proxy process to our shareholders.
Bogle's Last Warning
“If historical trends continue, a handful of giant institutional investors will one day hold voting control of virtually every large U.S. corporation…Three index fund managers dominate the field with a collective 81% share of index fund assets… Such domination exists primarily because the indexing field attracts few new major entrants.”
Wall Street Journal, 11.29.18

INDEX IS NOT OWNED BY ONE OF THE BIG THREE
