US-traded ETFs from Invesco Powershares cover the US big company (PRF), small company (PRFZ), Developed market large (PDN), Dev small (PXF) and Emerging markets (PXH). The other type of ETF that does not rely on price for weighting, which is the critical flaw of cap-weighting, is the Equal weight index, such as for US S&P (RSP). BMO has some recently introduced Equal weight ETFs but they are only for sub-sectors - see http://www.bmoetfs.com/ETFConsumer/controller/home/viewCanadianInvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645767559302303541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433839636644874439.post-50553717496169495782010-06-02T03:22:39.843+00:002010-06-02T03:22:39.843+00:00I always enjoy your writings; you find the most in...I always enjoy your writings; you find the most interesting concepts.<br /><br />Are there any ETFs that would reflect this better way of investing?Pacificnoreply@blogger.com
