Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

RSPCDInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Communication Services ETF

VOXBVanguard Communication Services ETF

In short

RSPC Communication services, minus the megacap gravity. RSPC equal-weights the sector's S&P 500 members, so a legacy telecom gets the same slice as the biggest platform. Same sector, very different shape.

VOX Communication services across the whole cap range, not just the S&P 500 slice: Vanguard's index reaches down into mid- and small-cap media and telecom, roughly 120 names, at nine basis points. Running since 2004.

Stated mandate

RSPC The fund is based on the S&P 500 Equal Weight Communication Services Plus Index and invests in companies classified in the communication services sector within the S&P 500.

VOX The fund seeks to track a benchmark index measuring the investment return of communication-services stocks.

Why people hold it

  • RSPC Equal weight by design: each rebalance resets every holding to the same slice, so the sector's giants don't set the tone the way they do in cap-weighted funds.
  • The hunting ground is the S&P 500's communication services names, so it's large, established US companies picked by index rules rather than a manager's hunches.
  • Running since 2018 as part of Invesco's equal-weight S&P 500 sector lineup, so the machinery has been through a full market cycle.
  • Distributions land on a quarterly schedule, the standard rhythm for an equity sector fund.
  • VOX 0.09% a year, a basis point off the cheapest rivals (XLC, FCOM) and well under the 0.37% median for this group of funds.
  • Tracks an MSCI investable-market index: large, mid and small caps, roughly 120 stocks. S&P 500-based rivals like XLC start and stop at large caps.vanguard.comssga.com
  • Full replication where possible, holding each stock at about its index weight, with sampling used only if regulatory limits get in the way.vanguard.com

Worth knowing

  • RSPC 0.40% a year sits above the category norm and is several times the 0.08% to 0.09% charged by cap-weighted rivals XLC, FCOM and VOX.
  • Trading is thin for the category, which can mean wider spreads and more care needed on bigger orders than with the sector's household-name funds.
  • Around two dozen holdings: equal weighting spreads the dollars, but communication services is a narrow sector, so one company's stumble still lands.
  • VOX The sector is top-heavy, so the index applies RIC caps: no issuer above 25%, and all issuers over 5% capped at 50% combined. A few giants still set the pace.msci.com
  • A single US sector and a non-diversified fund, so it rides media, entertainment and telecom rather than the broad market. Distributions come quarterly.vanguard.com
