Five Biggest Stocks Are 23% of S&P 500 Market Cap

Have equal weighted indexes outperformed market cap weighted indexes in the last decade?

Morningstar shows VOO with a greater total return than RSP for past 5 years and since inception. I didn’t see past 10 years at a quick glance, but I imagine it’s the same.

No, it hasn’t. I had a bad source. Thank you.

The argument is that the top five are overvalued. If so they would have outperformed during the period they became overvalued.

And I was responding to the thread, not to you specifically.

I don't know why you would limit your dataset to the last decade. That doesn't seem a valid analysis, even though it might be easier to lookup with free tools online.

I was replying to JumpCrisscross’s claim about performance, which specified the last decade between equal weighted and market cap weighted indices.
