As a result, investing in equal-weighted ETFs that provide a more diversified approach and offer exposure to old economy-linked sectors such as energy and manufacturing are coming back in favor as investors look to broaden their exposure beyond Big Tech.
Laura Cooper of BlackRock said the company's "highest conviction call" in the United States is the S&P 500 equal-weight.
The $42-billion Invesco S&P 500 equal-weighted ETF , which mirrors the performance of the S&P 500 equal-weight index (.SPXEW), saw inflows of $8.80 billion from the beginning of June through Aug. 25, according to Refinitiv Lipper data.
In comparison, the much larger $402-billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust , which tracks moves in the market cap weighted S&P 500 (.SPX), bled $10.88 billion during the same period.
Invesco S&P 500 equal-weighted ETF drew $4.85 billion inflows in June, the most since the fund was launched in 2003, followed by $3.53 billion in July, the second highest on record.
