The result is a sector and size mix that diverges significantly from the traditional index fund. Adherents of equal weighting argue that it eliminates the market-cap bias built into traditional indexes. At the same time, critics say that equal-weighting is just another way of tilting toward smaller companies in a portfolio.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ldOhuH7_csHx7y1HUAVaZIdythstKaUxc79kSBFJgs8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MWI2/MDBkMWRkZjZkMGI3/ZjJjYThmMDIzYTQy/N2YzZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
