Get Started Investing Under the Hood | Equal Weight v Market Cap Weight: What's better?
We're chatting about the difference between Equal Weight and Market Cap, and using Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG) to understand it. We are joined by Global X's Jessica Leung, who helps us understand the difference. Equal weight ETFs allocate the same percentage to all holdings, whereas market cap weight ETFs hold assets in proportion to their market value. So then we dig into the historical data on the performance of these structures and the reasons you might choose one over the other.
The ETF we’re looking at is Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG)
