The balance YOU NEED
Syntax Stratified: The Difference is Weighting™️ Q3 2023 Commentary
The Syntax Stratified Large Cap (SSPY) ETF outperforms the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index in Q3, despite a challenging quarter against the S&P 500 Index. Stratified Weight seeks to diversify across sectors and sub-sectors to prevent one sector, industry, or company from becoming overconcentrated in the portfolio.

It’s well known that the S&P 500, the most popular index for passive strategies, is dominated by just a few tech juggernauts like Alphabet, Amazon, and Facebook, all of which have dropped significantly.
