For a data set I have handy, 1926-01-02 through 2024-03-01, just under a century, the equal weight beat the S&P 500 and its cap-weighted predecessors by 2.191%/year.
The data that includes the Great Depression is a different world. What is the result for the "modern" world, say 1/1/1950 to now?
FWIW, the backtest I see for RSP vs. SPY (beginning 4/30/2003 RSP inception)
RSP beats SPY by 0.29%/yr.
SPY was a rocket in 2023 & 2024. Excluding those, RSP beat SPY 1.49%/yr 2003-2022.
