Three years ago, "owning the S&P 500" increasingly meant leaning on a handful of mega-cap names. We thought investors deserved another option.
That's why we built ROE — the Astoria US Equal Weight Quality Kings ETF. One simple idea: instead of owning companies based only on how large they've become, own high-quality businesses equally. #ETF #EqualWeight #QualityInvesting #ROE #Astoria

@EricBalchunas A few of the mag 7 stocks (Amazon, Google, etc) already have huge stakes in the company so most plain vanilla tech stocks (and $SPY and $QQQ) already own a huge chunk of $ANT
And the circular nature of this AI goes around and around and around…
