Benefits of market cap weighting ATEC incorporates a modified market-cap weighting scheme (with a single security cap of 25%) We believe that it is important for the market to dictate company weights in thematic investing We do not know which technology company will be the biggest and most successful in 20 years, but in early stage industries a market cap weighting scheme is important because it allows one to own more of a company as it grows and succeeds and reduces the weight of companies as they diminish in value By contrast, an equal weight approach may lead to selling winners and buying losers at each rebalance, resulting in an anti-momentum strategy in a highly momentum-driven investment approach.
