Earnings season is in full swing, and five of the “Magnificent 7” are reporting quarterly results this week. Wall Street has been steadily raising the alarm on mega-cap concentration risks, and recent notes out from Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have cranked up the hazard level a notch.

Desperate to Diversify: Concentration Risks Creep Higher

Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF aims to provide a more balanced exposure to large-cap stocks, reducing the impact of mega-cap Tech names. Equal-weight portfolios offer greater diversification and potential for higher returns but may require more frequent rebalancing. GSEW stands out with its unique equal-weight approach, lower Tech exposure, and competitive pricing compared to similar ETFs.

GSEW: The Answer To Idiosyncratic Risk In The S&P 500

Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF is a competitor to Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF with cheaper fees and a monthly rebalancing. A more frequent rebalancing may be an edge in certain market conditions, but a drag in other ones. An equal-weight methodology may be a good choice in some sectors, but in 20 years, it has brought negligible excess return and higher volatility in the S&P 500 universe.

GSEW: Is Equal-Weight Really Worth It?

The large-cap mega-tech companies have rallied hard in 2023, causing market-weight funds to outperform equal-weight ETFs. Equal-weight ETFs like GSEW provide an allocation of roughly 0.2% to each individual equity in the S&P 500 index. The allocation will drift as the market moves, but it gets moved back to the original level on the re-balancing date.

GSEW: An Equal Weight Fund For 'V'-Shaped Recoveries

GSEW holds 500 of the largest U.S. companies in equal weight. It differs from RSP by having a more objective selection process, a monthly rebalancing process, and lower fees. Fundamentally, the two ETFs are similar, although GSEW has higher growth rates and valuation ratios, indicating it should perform better in rising markets. Monthly rebalancing isn't always optimal, as it involves repeated buying of poor-performing stocks. This feature negatively impacted GSEW as regional bank stocks declined over the last year.

GSEW: Is Goldman Sachs' Equal-Weight Large-Cap ETF Better Than Invesco's RSP?

GSEW is an equal-weighted large-cap blend ETF with a 0.09% expense ratio, the second-cheapest on the market. This 500-stock fund has $670 million in assets under management. However, its track record is disappointing, ranking 19/25 and 12/19 on three- and five-year total returns when compared to other large-cap equal-weighted funds.

GSEW: The Equal-Weight ETF With Pocket-Friendly Fees

The Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (GSEW) can invest in Large-Cap stocks in or outside of the S&P 500 Index. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) only uses S&P 500 Index stocks, providing investors a choice. Has it made a difference?

GSEW Vs. RSP: 2 Competing Equal-Weighted Large-Cap ETFs

GSEW has a smart-beta strategy focusing on the most expensive U.S. companies with an equal-weight approach at its core instead of traditional market cap weighting. Anecdotal evidence suggests that equal-weight strategies should perform better during times of market stress. Yet this is not always the case.

The 60-40 stock-bond allocation did a lot of investors favors during the Covid-19 selloffs back in March as investors rushed to safe havens when equities were selling off and rates were dropping. Those low yields are now making investors rethink that 40% bond allocation as they look to other alternative assets to fill the void.
