equal weight

Identical mass measurement

Equal weight describes a condition where items share the same mass or importance.

In investing, an equal-weight portfolio or index allocates the same percentage to each holding rather than weighting by market capitalization: The fund uses an equal-weight approach, giving small companies the same allocation as giants.

The phrase also describes balanced consideration: The committee gave equal weight to cost and quality.
