Surging Value of the Magnificent 7 vs. the S&P 500 (2014-2024)

The Magnificent 7 stocks have soared from $1.8 trillion in 2014 to over $18 trillion in market capitalization by 2024—but is their growing dominance making the S&P 500 concentrated?

This visualization, created in partnership with Tema ETFs, provides visual context to the surging value of the Magnificent 7 stocks as a share of the S&P 500.

A Decade of S&P 500 Growth

The S&P 500 has seen remarkable growth over the past decade. In 2014, the index’s total market capitalization stood at just over $18 trillion—by the end of 2024, it had soared to nearly $50 trillion.

This surge in market value was mirrored in performance: from the start of 2014 to the end of 2024, the index delivered a total return of more than 220%.

A Decade of Magnificent 7 Growth

One group of stocks has stood out with exceptional performance: the “Magnificent 7.” This group is made up of Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla.

Here is the evolution of each company’s market capitalization from 2014-2024:

Year	GOOG	AMZN	AAPL	META	MSFT	NVDA	TSLA	Mag. 7	S&P 500
2024	2,365	2,352	3,863	1,514	3,200	3,355	1,385	18,034	49,810
2023	1,756	1,570	2,994	910	2,794	1,223	790	12,037	40,040
2022	1,145	857	2,066	320	1,787	364	389	6,928	32,130
2021	1,917	1,691	2,901	922	2,522	735	1,061	11,749	40,360
2020	1,185	1,634	2,255	778	1,681	323	669	8,525	31,660
2019	921	920	1,287	585	1,200	144	76	5,133	26,760
2018	724	737	746	374	780	81	57	3,500	21,030
2017	729	564	861	513	660	117	52	3,496	22,820
2016	539	356	609	332	483	58	34	2,411	19,270
2015	528	318	584	297	440	18	32	2,216	17,900
2014	360	144	643	217	382	11	28	1,784	18,250

This explosive growth has had a profound effect on the broader market. These tech-heavy giants now make up over one-third of the S&P 500. This has raised concerns about concentration risk within portfolios—which occurs when a handful of companies hold an outsized influence over index performance.

The Same Index; Less Concentrated

Investing in America’s top 500 companies doesn’t have to mean accepting concentration risk. There’s a more balanced approach for investors who want exposure to leading U.S. businesses without over-relying on a few dominant stocks.

The Tema S&P 500 Historical Weight ETF (DSPY) mirrors the S&P 500 while adjusting company weights to reflect their 35-year historical average levels. This strategy aims to reduce today’s high concentration risk and provide investors with a more balanced approach to investing in the S&P 500.

Risk Information

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the adviser’s investment strategy will be successful.

Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors, including Industrials, Materials and Utilities, and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors than funds that have more diversified holdings across several sectors. The success of the Fund’s investment strategy depends in part on the ability of the companies in which it invests to reshore or onshore services to the United States.

Companies may face significant legal, financial and political headwinds in the reshoring or onshoring of jobs into the United States, and these factors may be detrimental to performance. Industrial and Utilities sector companies will likewise be subject to the risks of Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities. In addition, many materials companies are significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices, exchange rates, import controls, worldwide competition, environmental policies and consumer demand. Investing in foreign and emerging markets involves risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments in addition the fund Is exposed to currency risk.
