Are equal-weight indices all they’re cracked up to be?

If volatility has made a comeback, are equal-weight indices the solution to this problem? Or do they present different issues? This week David Thorpe, Dave Baxter and Joseph Wilkins have a chat about the pros and cons of these trackers. They also discuss the case for European equities and whether their time has finally come. And finally they explore DFMs’ preference for gilts over Treasuries.
