Investors are navigating an increasingly concentrated and fragmented global market — making portfolio resilience more important than ever. So how can investors address this challenge? One way is by broadening their exposure. A more balanced exposure can help address concentration risk.
Compared to large caps, mid-cap equities in developed markets show a broader weight distribution and a materially lower reliance on the largest names. Their higher domestic revenue exposure also may help cushion portfolios from global trade disruptions and deglobalization pressures.
The MSCI World Mid Cap Index offers a compelling way to access these diversification and resilience benefits within a single, investable framework.
