Stocks rise as equities look to extend August gains
tocks gained on Wednesday, with the major equity indexes beginning September trading near all-time highs. Technology stocks outperformed, and the Nasdaq jumped to a fresh intraday record.
The S&P 500 and Dow each also advanced. U.S. crude oil prices steadied around $68.50 per barrel ahead of an OPEC+ meeting, wherein members are expected to increase output by 400,000 barrels per day each month through December to help meet rising energy demand.
The S&P 500 closed out a seventh straight monthly gain in August, rising nearly 3% during the month as strong earnings growth, an ongoing economic recovery and a still-accommodative Federal Reserve helped offset fresh concerns over the Delta variant’s spread. Still, the Nasdaq outperformed with a monthly rise of 4%, with investors piling back into technology and growth stocks seen as benefiting from stay-in-place behavior.

Cap-Weighted vs. Equally Weighted S&P 500 ETFs – Which is Better?
Research Affiliates and Dimensional Fund Advisors have been among the esteemed research and investment firms proclaiming that equally weighted portfolios will deliver superior performance to portfolios weighted by market capitalization also known as cap-weighted. This article explores to what extent that has been true in recent years.
IVV is the iShares S&P 500 Index ETF. RSP, part of the INVESCO family, is an ETF holding the identical 500 stocks but with equally weighted positions. We begin our comparison January 1, 2004, the first full year that RSP was in existence and complete the analysis with the end-of-day prices of the ETFs on June 30, 2021. For an investor, these numbers reflect realizable returns. Indexes themselves are not directly accessible, so these ETFs are used instead.
