Question
- Which of the following least describes the fundamental weighting of indices?
- There may be a change in the weight of the constituent security versus its weight in a market capitalization index because the fundamental measure/ratio used to weight the assets is significantly higher or lower than its market capitalization weight.
- The weighting used in fundamental weighting is independent of the price of the security.
- The weights have to be rebalanced periodically as the fundamental attribute changes.
- This method has a momentum effect or bias because those stocks that increased in relative value will get even higher weights moving forward.
- The stocks in the index should include both “value” and “growth” stocks.
