They unpack how passive indices and many active funds are heavily exposed to US mega-cap, tech-driven growth themes, creating hidden risks if leadership shifts. Drawing on history and current valuation extremes, the discussion highlights opportunities beyond the obvious—including mid-caps, healthcare, and international markets—while stressing diversification across style, geography, and currency. With a focus on preparation over prediction, this episode helps advisers build portfolios resilient to a wider range of outcomes.
