EQAL offers an equal-weighted take on the Russell 1000. The funds weighting is applied in tiers: each sector gets the same weight, as does each stock within a given sector. This approach produces a big tilt toward smaller firms, which dominate the portfolio. The fund is composed of some firms that are considered midcaps. Like all equal-weight strategies, EQAL has a bit of a contrarian streak, as it sells winners and buys losers at each quarterly rebalance. The fund is reconstituted annually in June.
