The handful of mega-cap leaders may continue outperforming, but buying them after a strong run means accepting much greater concentration and valuation risk. If earnings or guidance disappoint, the same stocks carrying the market could also lead the correction.
An index lets me participate in the AI and tech rally while retaining exposure to financials, industrials, healthcare and other sectors that could take over leadership if the rally broadens.
I wouldn’t completely avoid the winners, but I prefer them as part of a diversified portfolio rather than making a concentrated bet.
At record highs, diversification may look boring, but I’m happy to trade some upside for less single-stock risk. 📈
