RSP ETF: How Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF Works

Last updated: 2026-10-03

Overview

The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) offers Australian investors a way to research US large-company equities through an equal-weight approach. Its reported returns are 11.52% year to date and 14.86% over one year, while the net expense ratio is 0.2%. As a US-domiciled fund traded in US dollars, it also brings currency considerations for Australian investors.

RSP combines large US company exposure with an equal-weight portfolio design. Rather than letting the biggest companies account for most of the portfolio, the approach spreads weight more evenly across constituents. This creates a distinct alternative within the broad US equity category, but does not guarantee lower volatility or better returns.

Equal weighting offers a different way to participate in the US large-company market: it reduces the influence of the very largest constituents and gives smaller constituents within the portfolio a comparatively greater role. That can lead to different sector and company exposures, and different performance, from market-cap-weighted US equity funds.

Risks

Who it may suit

RSP may interest investors researching broad exposure to large US companies who want an equal-weight approach rather than allowing the largest companies to dominate portfolio weight. It is a US-domiciled, US-dollar fund, so Australian investors should also consider currency exposure and how the fund fits their overall portfolio.

Key risks

RSP remains exposed to share-market declines and the fortunes of US companies; equal weighting does not remove market risk. Its allocation can also differ meaningfully from market-cap-weighted funds, including through sector exposure. For Australian investors, US-dollar exposure adds currency risk, and the reported dividend yield may vary over time.
