A Market Cap weighted index is calculated a lot like a school teacher weighs grades. Example: Quiz: 20%
Homework: 20%
Final Paper: 60% So if you got a 80% on your quiz, a 90% on your homework and a 70% on your final your grade would be: 80(.2)+90(.2)+70(.6)= 76% (as compared to 80% without weight) So for a weighted market cap index if you have 3 companies A, B, and C, and each is a different size, then the idea is the largest companies have the largest effect on the total "weighted" result. Conversely the smaller companies will have a smaler effect; in much the same way that your homework matters less than your final in our imaginary school.

How do you calculate mutual fund index?
Index mutual funds rebalance on an annual basis. The published index reconstitutes based on the change in performance of the securities in the index. Many index funds are cap-weighted. This means the companies in the index are invested by the total market worth of the company or capitalization. Capitalization is determined by multiplying the total number of shares available by the share price. If a company does not met the requirement of the index, it is "sold" and replaced by a company that does meet the requirements. Most index "cap-weighted" indexes use the following guidelines: large cap - companies worth more than $10 billion; mid-cap companies are worth $2-10 billion; small-cap companies are worth less than $2 billion. Other ways to index the market include fundamental weighting, free floating or preice weighting. Each reflect a different outcome in terms of performance.

Which are better market cap weighted index funds or equal weight index funds?
Market weight index funds weight the individual company's within the index by market capitalization (shares outstanding multiplied by share price). Equal weight index funds give equal weight in the fund to each company, regardless of its share price. When measuring the performance of each of these types of index funds there is no clear winner. Researchers Dash and Loggie found each type of fund outperformed during different market conditions. The S & P 500 equal weight index fund underperformed the market capitalization weighted fund during strong markets but seemed to perform better than the market cap weighted fund during weak markets.
