Our read on GSEW

ETF.net Research

In short

AEqual weight without the equal-weight markup. GSEW spreads roughly 500 US large caps into same-size slots and charges 0.09%, well under half the typical fee in its corner of the market.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Solactive US Large Cap Equal Weight Index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.09% a year against a 0.20% median for equal-weight US large-cap peers. Only iShares' EUSA matches the price.
  • Every name gets the same slot, so the largest megacap counts no more than the 500th holding. A genuinely different shape than a cap-weighted S&P fund.gsam.com
  • Hugs the Solactive US Large Cap Equal Weight Index closely, one of the tightest index implementations in its peer group.
  • Trading since 2017 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so this is an established option rather than a recent launch.

Worth knowing

  • Even weights pull the mix toward the smaller members of the large-cap universe and away from megacap concentration, which has made for a bumpier ride than cap-weighted peers.
  • Resetting to equal weight means more turnover than a leave-it-alone cap-weighted index, and income lands quarterly rather than monthly.
  • Moderately traded, not one of the volume giants of the category, so spreads can widen outside the busiest parts of the session.
