Market-cap weighting overemphasizes expensive stocks; alternative ETFs use fundamental data for better portfolio balance based on economic reality.
When market volatility sends speculative stocks on wild rides and mega-cap tech names dominate headlines, some investors look for a different approach: fundamental indexing. Invesco RAFI US 1000 ETF ( NYSEARCA:PRF) offers exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks weighted not by market capitalization, but by fundamental metrics like sales, cash flow, and dividends. The question is whether this methodology delivers enough differentiation to justify its place in a portfolio.
