Equal-weighted ETF Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight has historically outperformed market cap-weighted ETF SPDR S&P 500 with a 1.03% higher average 1-year total return.

Housing supply constraints and high borrowing costs are pricing many potential buyers out of the single-family market, leading to increased demand for rental properties. Apartment REITs, particularly those exposed to growing markets, are well-positioned to benefit from this supply-demand imbalance and pass value along to investors.
