Chart of the Week: You’re Getting AI Whether You Like It or Not

Since early 2023, AI has dominated headlines and adoption across consumers and companies, fueling a powerful rally in AI-linked stocks. That rally has reshaped US large-cap exposure. In 2025, simply owning the S&P 500 means you are significantly tied to the AI theme, whether you intend it or not, as AI-exposed equities account for 40% of the index’s overall market capitalization and have driven 67% of its 2025 YTD return. In our view, however, the AI theme is broadening, providing investors with opportunities for targeted and diversified access to one of the most important themes of a generation.
