Weekly Client Letter – September 9, 2024

The concentration of the S&P 500 in a few major stocks has significantly increased and continues to pose a risk for markets. For instance, Nvidia by itself now carries more influence in the index than some entire sectors. This makes the market more vulnerable to the performance of just one company.

At Redwood, we proactively manage risks like this, aiming to build strategies that protect client portfolios from the effects of such concentrated market exposure.
