 The equal-weighted S&P 500 just smoked the Nasdaq-100 in July — outperforming amid the violent chip-stock unwind

A nasty reversal of the momentum trade in the U.S. stock market in July has led to tumult under the surface of major indexes like the S&P 500 — yet the equal-weighted version of the popular benchmark ended the month with a solid gain.

The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF

RSP, which equally weights stocks in the index, booked record monthly outperformance versus a popular exchange-traded fund that tracks the technology-heavy Nasdaq-100 index NDX, according to Dow Jones Market Data, citing data going back to 2003. After the Nasdaq-100-tracking Invesco QQQ Trust Series I’s QQQ large loss in July, the gain this month for the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF saw it outperform that fund by a wide 7.6 percentage points.
