Magnificent Seven

The concentration reference: the seven megacaps that drive index-level returns. Equal-weighted here (deliberately, vs their cap weight in the index) so the basket measures the cohort, not just NVDA and MSFT. Divergence between this basket and the equal-weight index is the concentration trade in one line.
