Overview
Holds all S&P 500 constituents at roughly equal 0.2% weights, rebalanced quarterly — a direct structural answer to mega-cap concentration.

Fund Details
Investment Thesis
RSP answers a question that has become urgent: what happens if the mega-caps stop leading? By holding every S&P 500 company at roughly 0.2%, it removes the concentration risk that now sees the top ten names account for over a third of the cap-weighted index. The quarterly rebalance also imposes a systematic sell-high, buy-low discipline. The trade-off is real — RSP badly lagged during the mega-cap-led runs of 2023 to 2025, and its 0.20% fee is five times VOO's. It is a genuine bet, not a free improvement.
Who It's For
Investors who believe current mega-cap concentration is unsustainable and want S&P 500 exposure without it. RSP suits those willing to underperform during momentum-driven markets in exchange for protection if leadership broadens. Best used as a complement to a cap-weighted core rather than a replacement.
