Investors have expressed concerns about the durability of the stock-market rally fueled largely by a handful of megacap tech stocks throughout 2023. These worries continue to persist as the S&P 500 has returned to record territory in the new year. Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, noted that concentration-risk worries have grabbed significant attention once again, as investors contemplate the potential impact on stock-market performance if these trends were to reverse in the coming months. Belski stated that this topic is frequently discussed in client conversations and appears to be the primary concern for investors.
