Diversified Portfolio: Breaking Free from Single-Market Dependence

  • The XMAG ETF offers investors a valuable diversification strategy. By excluding the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, which exert significant influence on major market indexes, it helps investors reduce their dependence on the performance of a few dominant stocks. This diversification strategy mitigates the risk of significant losses if these tech giants underperform.
  • By excluding the “Magnificent Seven,” the XMAG ETF provides exposure to other large-cap companies with strong growth potential across various sectors. This allows investors to capture broader market gains and potentially outperform the overall market if these other companies outperform the tech giants.
