Weekly Client Letter – March 3, 2025

The seven largest tech giants in the S&P 500, known as the “Magnificent Seven,” have been a major force behind the market’s gains in recent years.

However, this year tells a different story, with the group down 14% and entering a correction, underperforming the broader market. This reversal serves as a reminder that higher upside potential often comes with greater volatility.

While these stocks remain influential, overreliance on a few names can amplify risk. Our RiskFirst® approach emphasizes the importance of diversification and risk management for navigating shifting market conditions to help you reach your long-term goals.
