About the SIX Equal Weighted Indices
Equal weighted indices assign the same weight to every constituent, creating a balanced representation across all components. Unlike market‑cap‑weighted approaches, which tilt toward larger issuers, equal weighting gives each security the same influence on performance - reducing concentration and enhancing diversification.
The SIX Equal Weighted Indices that are currently offered on the Swiss Market Index (SMI) allocate a uniform 5% weight to each constituent and are rebalanced quarterly. Academic research identifies diversification benefits, systematic risk exposures, and the rebalancing effect as key performance drivers of equal weight strategies.
