Big Tech Dominates S&P 500 - 18% Weight

Big Tech is leading the world in innovation, productivity and these are likely the champions for shareholder returns over the next decades. 

• The recent Big Tech surge is good news for anyone chasing the sector higher, but several strategists highlight it's a sign investors have lost their risk appetite.

• The top five publicly-traded American companies - Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) - now make up a record 18% share of the S&P 500 Index's capitalization.

• That ratio is higher than the tech bubble, according to Morgan Stanley, amid fears the economic cycle will slow.


Big Tech 5 companies market caps as of 14 Jan 2020 are as below:

1) AAPL - $1.4T

2) MSFT - $1.25T

3) GOOGL - $1T

4) AMZN - $940B

5) FB - $634B
