Our read on RSPU

ETF.net Research

In short

CUtilities without one giant hogging the wheel. RSPU equal-weights the S&P 500's utility stocks, so a mid-sized water company carries about the same load as the biggest power name. It has been running this way since 2006.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index that equally weights the common stocks of S&P 500 companies classified in the utilities sector.

Why people hold it

  • Equal weighting is the whole point: roughly 30 S&P 500 utilities each get about the same slice, so no single mega-cap utility dominates the portfolio.invesco.com
  • It does what the label says: S&P 500 utilities, index-tracked, no derivatives or off-menu holdings, and it has stayed close to its benchmark.
  • A long track record for a niche idea. Launched in 2006, it pays distributions quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • The equal-weight build carries a price: 0.40% a year, versus the cheapest utilities trackers in the group (XLU, FUTY, VPU), which charge well under a tenth of a percent.
  • It trades thinly next to the household-name utilities funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads.
  • One sector, about 30 names, concentrated by design. Flat weighting also leans harder on smaller utilities than a size-weighted fund does.
