The S&P 500 benchmark, comprising over 500 large-cap U.S. companies, has become increasingly concentrated in seven technology-oriented firms—Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla—collectively representing nearly 35% of the index's $46 trillion market cap by mid‑2024, up from under 10% in 2014. This concentration has driven strong index gains but also raises exposure risk, prompting products like the XMAG ETF that exclude these seven stocks. In India, the Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Index Fund – Direct Plan offers investors a passively managed way to track the S&P 500, with a 0.49% expense ratio, ₹4,580 cr AUM, and a reported 5‑year annualised return of 17.93% as of June 2026.
