The shape of coverage
As of 12 August 2026, the tracked universe spans 1,948 companies across eight sectors. Composition by company count tells a clear story: Technology leads with 560 names (about 29% of the universe), followed by Industrials at 378 (19%) and Healthcare at 323 (17%). Together, those three sectors make up roughly two-thirds of everything on the board.
The long tail is thinner but globally flavoured. Basic Materials carries 242 names, Consumer Cyclical 139, Financials 116, Energy 114, and Communication Services just 76.
Who anchors each sector
The familiar mega-caps sit exactly where you would expect. Technology is anchored by Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, with the semiconductor cohort — AMD and Intel — well represented alongside enterprise software in Salesforce. Communication Services, despite being the smallest sector by count, holds some of the most-watched names on earth: Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Disney, and Tencent. That concentration of household names in a slim 76-company sector is worth noting — coverage breadth and index weight are very different things.
Healthcare pairs defensives like Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth, and AbbVie with smaller and international listings such as GoodRx and Asian pharma names. Consumer Cyclical leans on Amazon, Tesla, Home Depot, and Alibaba — and Tesla notably appears multiple times via its Frankfurt and Xetra listings, a reminder that the universe counts cross-listed lines separately.
An international, duplicated tail
Basic Materials, Energy, and Industrials read very differently from the US-centric top of the board. They're populated by Chinese A-shares (Xiamen Solex, Shanghai names), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canadian, and Australian listings — Novo Resources and Galantas Gold each show up on two exchanges. This is where the tracked universe earns its "multi-exchange" description, and where an investor gets exposure to global mining, fertilizer, shipping, and emerging-market energy rather than just the S&P core.
A caveat on the market-cap figures
One honest word of caution: the aggregate market-cap totals in this snapshot do not hold up to scrutiny. Financials reports a total larger than global GDP, and Basic Materials and Energy dwarf Technology despite far fewer, mostly small-cap names. Those totals are almost certainly contaminated by unit or currency mismatches across exchanges. Until that's cleaned up, treat sector weight by company count as the reliable signal and disregard the cap aggregates.
What to watch
Two things stand out for the months ahead. First, the Technology-Industrials-Healthcare concentration means the board's aggregate behaviour will track those three sectors closely — diversification here is narrower than the eight-sector split suggests. Second, the international small-cap tail in materials and energy is where idiosyncratic, less-correlated moves are most likely to surface. Fixing the market-cap data should be the next housekeeping priority, so weighting can finally complement the headcount view.
