The quick take on equity market concentration
For our inaugural episode, we’re diving into a pressing topic: the growing concentration in global equity markets – has this risk now become too big to ignore? Global equity markets have enjoyed a strong run through the summer, with US mega-cap technology once again carrying the torch. The AI narrative has fuelled enthusiasm and valuations, with a handful of stocks now dominating returns to a degree rarely seen before. In this episode, we share our expert views on whether the fundamentals justify the premium, how this differs from past market cycles and what investors should be thinking about when it comes to portfolio construction. We also discuss opportunities beyond the US, where valuations look more compelling and diversification benefits could help manage risks.
