Recent months have seen early signs of a market rotation, from a narrow set of growth leaders to a broader array of companies. While investors are not bailing on Big Tech, many are concerned about concentration risk and excessive exposure to these companies in market-cap-weighted indices.
While exposure to those technology giants that have driven equity markets in recent years remains justified, there is a strong case to look at a broader set of companies and industries that have potential for a long runway for growth ahead.
Among these growth themes for the coming years are industrials with high barriers to entry, healthcare stocks exposed to the genetic revolution, and industry leaders with few competitors and strong demand.
Such themes are clear, and it is a matter of valuations; others become more transparent over time. But having a broad set of themes, expressed through a range of companies, helps our pursuit of active returns while seeking to mitigate risk in our portfolios.
