Mark Hulbert: These Top-Ranked Index Funds Aren’t Built To Handle The Next Stock-Market Crash

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Many individual investors and financial advisers consider equal-weighted index funds to be a sure-fire way of beating the stock market.

They’re wrong. In fact, equal-weighted funds, which give the same percentage allocation to each of the stocks they own, are more likely to lag their capitalization-weighted peers — which weight each stock according to its market valuation — on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term.
Regards,
Ted
