Magnificent Seven: are index funds too tech concentrated?
Description
Are index-tracking passive funds too concentrated on US tech? Fears are rising that, thanks to the wild success of the so-called ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech stocks, investors in passive index funds are becoming over-exposed to a small number of equities.
We’re joined by Mohneet Dhir, co-founder of advice firm &together and former Vanguard Lifestrategy fund manager, to look at whether market concentration is a real concern and if investors can pick active funds to avoid the problem.
Let us know in the comments what you think of the market concentration issue. Has it changed your investing plans?
