RWL re-shuffles S&P 500 components based on revenue, capping each company at 5%, offering a more balanced and defensive portfolio. RWL shows similar long-term performance to SPX but performs better in down years, with a beta of 0.89 and lower volatility. The ETF's forward P/E ratio is 15x, lower than SPY's 20x, due to its focus on high-revenue, lower P/E sectors like Financials and Health Care.
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the Invesco S&P 500 Revenue ETF (RWL) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 02/22/2008.
The Invesco S&P 500 Revenue ETF weights companies by revenue earned, instead of the customary market-cap-weighted indices. RWL's revenue-weighting tends to have a 'value' bias and may outperform during market drawdowns. I believe RWL's portfolio, currently trading at 14.5x Fwd P/E, may be safer than the S&P 500's 21.4x. I rate RWL a relative buy.
