Nathan Geraci explained how equal weighting addresses concentration risk as market leadership broadens.

Nathan Geraci noted that equal-weighted ETFs provide a solution for investors worried about top-heavy indices.

“Historically, the equal-weighted S&P 500 index has performed very similarly to mid-caps. One could argue that investors should simply increase their exposure to this category, as lower-cost options are available.”
