Did you see what Trump hinted at?

In 1934, the government executed a legal maneuver that transferred billions in wealth overnight.

Most Americans had no idea it was coming.

A small group who saw it early walked away wealthy.

Everyone else paid for it.

Trump has the same legal authority today. Advisors close to the administration believe he's considering using it. If he does, the transfer happens fast — and the window to be on the right side of it is already closing.

We put together a free report on exactly what this move is, why the timing points to now, and the one step ordinary Americans can take to position themselves before it happens.

It costs nothing. Takes 30 seconds to request.

The people who moved early in 1934 didn't have a warning.

Avoid the Top-Heavy S&P 500 With Equal-Weight ETFs

By Nathan Reiff. Article Posted: 3/14/2026.

Key Points

Equal-weight ETFs may target the same basket of companies as popular funds focused on the S&P 500, Russell 1000, or other well-known indices, but with a unique approach to balancing portfolios.
Equal-weight funds focused on the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ-100 have underperformed their plain vanilla rivals, while a similar fund targeting the Russell 1000 has dominated year-to-date.
Funds of this type offer added exposure to some of the lesser-known or smaller names in these iconic indices, but they may do so at a somewhat higher price tag than traditional broad index-based ETFs.

A small group of AI-focused tech stocks dominated in 2025, helping push the S&P 500 up more than 16% for the year — but that concentration may have left investors exposed to undue risk. Fears of an AI bubble, combined with the potential impact of a prolonged war in Iran and oil-market disruptions on the data-center industry, have some investors worrying about overweight exposure to tech in their broad-market holdings.

One way to reduce that automatic tilt toward AI and big tech is with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that use an equal-weight approach. By assigning similar weightings to each index component, these funds limit the impact of overconcentration and increase exposure to often-overlooked companies, including smaller-cap names. The funds below are worth considering for investors who want less exposure to the heaviest-weighted corners of the market.

Equal-Weight Alternative to SPY: Higher Fees, Potential Protection

During a private gathering of Wall Street elites, I was one of two people selected to speak with Elon personally.

As a result, my research now leads me to believe Elon will announce the SpaceX IPO on this date:

The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEARCA: RSP) fell about 1% the week ending March 13 — one of its worst five-day stretches in several months — but it remains up roughly 1% year-to-date (YTD), putting it ahead of the broader S&P 500 over the same period.

RSP's strategy holds the S&P 500 constituents but caps individual positions so no single holding exceeds roughly 0.5% of the portfolio. That equal-weight approach makes RSP a natural comparison to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) and other low-cost S&P funds. Because the portfolios overlap substantially, many investors won't want to hold RSP and another S&P fund at the same time.

RSP's expense ratio is higher than many broad S&P alternatives — 0.20% versus SPY's 0.09% — and liquidity is typically greater for large, widely traded ETFs like SPY. RSP's appeal, however, is its ability to help weather shocks that hit the S&P's largest names. Its dividend yield of 1.6% is another plus, modestly higher than SPY's 1.1% yield.

A Growth- and Quality-Focused Spin on the QQQ

The First Trust NASDAQ-100 Select Equal Weight ETF (NASDAQ: QQEW) applies a similar philosophy to the NASDAQ-100. The NASDAQ-100, accessible via popular ETFs like the Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ: QQQ), includes many of the world's largest non-financial companies, and QQQ leans heavily into its largest names.

QQEW takes a different route. It scores NASDAQ-100 stocks on growth- and quality-related factors — revenue, forward EPS estimates and cash-flow growth, among others — then selects the top 50 components by those metrics and weights them roughly equally.

QQEW has underperformed QQQ so far in 2026, but investors wary of QQQ's tech concentration may prefer QQEW's more balanced, growth-and-quality focus. That balance comes at a cost: QQEW's expense ratio is 0.55%, more than three times QQQ's fee.

An Equal-Weight Take on the Russell 1000

The Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEARCA: EQAL) applies the equal-weight approach across the roughly 1,000 stocks in the Russell 1000 for an annual fee of 0.20%.

By weighting components more evenly, EQAL tilts the portfolio toward smaller names in the Russell index and produces a more balanced sector allocation than a market-cap-weighted Russell 1000 fund, which typically devotes about a third of its weight to tech and overweights financials. That tilt can boost mid-cap exposure relative to traditional Russell funds.

EQAL has delivered nearly a 5% YTD return and has outperformed the Russell 1000 so far in 2026. Still, because it charges higher fees than straightforward Russell 1000 index alternatives, EQAL will need to sustain outperformance to remain attractive to cost-conscious investors.
