    An Australian equal weight ETF is an exchange traded fund that gives the same importance or “weight” to each company within the portfolio. Equal weighting each company means an investment in the portfolio is spread equally across each company. For example, if there are ten companies in an equally weighted portfolio, each would have a 10% weighting. If $1000 was invested in this portfolio, $100 would be allocated to each company.
