This gives us an idea of how much each subsector’s performance may be impacted by one or two large stocks within that subsector.

As expected, US Tech is dominated by several large individual stocks. (Elsewhere, we have noted how <a href="http://www.lseg.com/en/insights/ftse-russell/us-tech-stocks-heavyweights-that-move-global-markets" target="_self">concentration within US equities and within US Tech have impacted global equity performance.</a>) But what is also interesting to note is that these large individual names are distributed across subsectors whose performance at a fundamental level may be driven by different economic themes, consumer behavior, regulatory trends, etc. </p> <p>For example, we see that Alphabet and Meta are in Consumer Digital Services (dark grey). Microsoft is part of Software (orange) and Apple of Computer Hardware (teal). Within Semiconductors (brown), Broadcom and Nvidia are the big names. To be sure, these names often dominate Tech’s performance by the sheer size of their representation. For example, Microsoft, part of Software, constitutes nearly 18% of US Tech, while the other 30 names within Software account for 11.5% of US Tech. However, the US is not unique in this respect, and in other regions, we sometimes see a more acute concentration of weights in one or two subsectors and stocks.</p> <p>Considering Technology within the Emerging index, nearly 42% of Emerging Technology is in Semiconductors (brown) and a single name within that subsector, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), accounts for 34% of Emerging Technology. The next largest subsector, Consumer Digital Services (dark grey), accounting for 33.5% of Emerging Tech is dominated by three Chinese Tech names—Meituan Dianping, PDD Holdings and Tencent Holdings—making up nearly 27% of Emerging Technology.</p> <p>Similarly, in Developed Europe ex UK, two names—SAP and ASML Holding—collectively account for over 64% of the Tech industry. ASML Holding, part of Production Technology Equipment, makes up 36.4% of Europe Technology while the only other name in that subsector accounts for 3.4%.</p> <p>As we will see, companies such as TSMC and ASML often carry their subsector’s contribution to performance. However, concentration can cut both ways.</p> <p>In Exhibits 4-7, we look at the Tech industry’s contribution to index returns with a breakdown by subsector to get better insight into what areas have been driving Tech’s contribution over the last 12 months. Contributions are weighted returns and so consider both returns and weights. A single block of color dominating contributions in a given period shows that the industry’s return was dependent on the performance of a single subsector, and perhaps even one or two stocks if that subsector also happens to be concentrated.</p> </div> </div> <div class="VerticalSpacing VerticalSpacing--m"> <div class="Header"> <div class="Header-heading"> <h3 class="Heading Heading--smallCaps u-typographySmallCaps"> Exhibit 4: USA Technology monthly contribution by ICB subsector</h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="VerticalSpacing VerticalSpacing--m"> <div data-react-from-markup-container="true"> <figure class="Figure" data-rehydratable="Figure" data-expandable-url="/content/dam/ftse-russell/en_us/insights/images/charts/exhibit-4-usa-technology-monthly-contribution-by-icb-subsector.svg" data-expandable="true"> <div class="Figure-inner"> <button class="Figure-expandable"> <span class="Svg"> <span class="Svg-inner"><svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><g class="nc-icon-wrapper" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="square" stroke-width="2"><path d="M8 16l-7 7M23 1l-7 7M16 16l7 7M1 1l7 7" stroke-linecap="butt" data-cap="butt" data-color="color-2"></path><path d="M17 1h6v6M7 23H1v-6M1 7V1h6M23 17v6h-6"></path></g></svg></span> </span> </button> <div class="Figure-imageWrapper"> <div class="Image"> <img alt="exhibit 4 shows In the US , while Semiconductors (brown) has sometimes dominated Tech’s contribution, many subsectors have notably contributed during most months (and sometimes detracted).

However, certain regional Technology industries may be heavily reliant on the fortunes of one or two subsectors and even one or two stocks. US Technology is certainly concentrated with heavyweights that can move global markets given the US’s representation in global indices, but it is worth keeping in mind that some other regional Technology industries may have an even greater reliance on one or two subsectors and names that seem to drive overall industry performance. This is important to understand if a moderation or pullback in regional Technology industry performance is a sign of a shift in trends or the result of headwinds faced by a specific company or subsector.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="Grid-item"> <div class="VerticalSpacing VerticalSpacing--xs"> <div class="Header"> <div class="Header-heading"> <h2 class="Heading Heading--smallCaps
