Global equities: a guide to sector concentration

Equity market concentration has evolved across global regions over the past decade.

In this whitepaper, our expert Investment Team explores the impact of these shifts and why it’s essential to understand regional market exposures when building well-diversified portfolios.

We explore:

• how tech-driven markets like the U.S. have outperformed due to sector concentration, while more diversified regions like the UK and Europe have lagged; and

• the specific market makeup and sector composition of key markets typically included in multi-asset portfolios.
