Record demand for Invesco equal weight ETF highlights investor interest in diversified U.S. equities exposure ATLANTA , Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ ), a leading global asset management firm, announced today that the Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF (RSP) has reached $100 billion in assets under management (AUM), marking a significant milestone for one of the firm's flagship ETF strategies.
RSP is the only US-listed ETF to provide investors equal-weight exposure to the S&P 500® Index. When it launched in 2003, RSP reshaped how investors could access large-cap U.S. equities through an ETF, breaking the link between market capitalization and index weight.
"Reaching $100 billion in AUM speaks to the role RSP has played in influencing how investors balance their allocations to U.S. equities," said Brian Hartigan, Invesco's Global Head of ETFs & Index Investments. "As a pioneer of equal-weight investing, Invesco has long focused on expanding access to differentiated, rules-based strategies that can help investors build more diversified portfolios. The continued growth of RSP underscores the enduring relevance of equal weight as a complementary approach alongside traditional market-cap exposures."
Investor interest in equal weight strategies has accelerated recently as the composition of the S&P 500 has become increasingly concentrated among a small group of mega-cap companies. By weighting each constituent equally, RSP reduces dependence on the largest names and provides broader exposure across sectors and companies.
"When leadership in the equity market narrows, investors often look for ways to rebalance exposure and broaden participation," said Rene Reyna, Invesco's Head of Equity ETF Strategy. "Equal weight strategies like RSP offer a structural way to reduce concentration risk and diversify across the full opportunity set within large-cap U.S. equities. In today's environment, many investors are revisiting how they construct portfolios, making equal weight a timely and strategic complement to traditional market-cap-weighted approaches."
Through its collaboration with S&P Dow Jones Indices, Invesco offers a suite of 15 equal-weight ETF strategies – including ten equal-weight sector ETFs – that offer investors access to a broad range of sector and large-cap exposures.
"S&P Dow Jones Indices is proud of its longstanding relationship with Invesco and the role our indices have played in helping to shape innovative investment solutions," said Robert Ross, Chief Commercial Officer at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index was designed to offer a complementary perspective to the traditional S&P 500 by reducing top-of-the-index concentration and delivering balance across constituents. We are pleased to see its continued adoption through products, like RSP, as investors seek new ways to access the U.S. equity market."
Invesco has continued to expand its equal-weight franchise to build income into the equal-weight foundation that has made RSP a widely used portfolio allocation. Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Income Advantage ETF (RSPA) is designed to provide investors with consistent income through an actively managed options strategy that maintains exposure to the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. The strategy's appeal has helped drive its AUM pass the $1 billion milestone about two years after launch. Invesco recently added Invesco QQQ Equal Weight ETF (QEW) to Invesco QQQ Innovation suite and Invesco's equal-weight ETF lineup. The strategy offers a balanced way to access the innovative companies that define Nasdaq-100 Index.
