Benefits of investing in the BetaShares S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF

• Portfolio diversification & reduced concentration - gain exposure to the performance of 500 leading U.S. companies. Equal weighting approach reduces the risk of the portfolio being heavily exposed to a small number of mega-cap companies

• Simple, effective methodology - the equal-weighted methodology is simple, yet has been effective. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index has outperformed the market cap-weighted S&P 500 Index since inception*

• Long-term outperformance potential - by removing the link between the price of a share and its weight in the index, the equal weight approach aims to outperform comparable traditional indexes over time by selling higher priced shares while buying those which are lower priced, through regular rebalancing

• Cost-effective - QUS aims to track the performance of an index (no active manager' fees)

• Reduced administration - as an Australian domiciled fund, investors do not need to fill out W-8BEN forms, or risk any potential U.S. estate tax issues

*Based on performance over period from index inception date (8 January 2003) to 31 December 2020.

The Index is the equal-weight version of the widely-used S&P 500 Index, which comprises 500 leading U.S.-listed companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalisation across industry sectors of the U.S. economy. The Index includes the same constituents as the capitalisation weighted S&P 500 Index, but each company in the Index is allocated a fixed weight, being 0.2% of the index total, at each quarterly rebalance.

For more information on the Index, please see pp 36-7 of the PDS.
