Summary
The concentration of the top 10 companies in the S&P 500 has increased significantly in recent years, raising concerns among some experts about the risks it poses to investors. However, others believe the concerns may be overblown, citing historical and global comparisons. Despite the concentration, some market experts believe that the current market leaders have the profits to support their valuations. Diversification beyond the top companies is recommended for investors to mitigate risks.
