A universe of 2,314 names
Across the eight sectors we track, the platform covers 2,314 companies as of 30 September 2026. The distribution is far from even. Technology alone accounts for 625 names (27%), followed by Industrials at 442 (19%) and Healthcare at 381 (16%). Basic Materials is surprisingly deep at 331 (14%), while Consumer Cyclical (167), Energy (140), Financials (139) and Communication Services (89) round out the tail. In short, more than one in four tracked companies is a technology business.
Where the familiar megacaps sit
The recognisable index heavyweights cluster in three buckets. Technology holds Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Salesforce and Intel. Communication Services — the smallest sector by count — is the most concentrated in quality, with Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Disney and Tencent. Financials leans on Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan, Visa, Mastercard and Bank of America. That pattern matters: a handful of sectors carry the names that dominate headlines, while the bulk of the count lives elsewhere.
The long tail is a materials-and-industrials story
Basic Materials and Industrials are where breadth turns speculative. The materials sample is dominated by junior miners and specialty producers — Argentina Lithium & Energy, Galantas Gold, Novo Resources, China XLX Fertiliser — rather than diversified majors. Industrials mixes blue chips like Honeywell and nVent with newer, higher-beta names such as Archer Aviation and ZIM Integrated Shipping. These two sectors supply nearly a third of all tracked tickers, and much of that is small-cap.
Genuinely global — sometimes redundantly so
The listing venues span the US, Shanghai (.SS), Hong Kong (.HK), Taiwan (.TW), Korea (.KQ), India (.NS), the UK (.L), Canada (.TO/.V), Australia (.AX) and Germany (.DE/.F). That reach is a strength, but it also introduces duplication: the same issuer appears more than once. Novo Resources shows up as both NVO.TO and NVO.AX, Galantas as GAL.V and GAL.L, Tesla as TL0.F and TL0.DE, Obsidian as OBE and OBE.TO, and Alphabet as GOOG and GOOGL. Cross-listings inflate raw counts and complicate any de-duplicated view.
A note on the cap totals
The per-sector market-cap figures should be read with real caution. Energy is reported at roughly $106.5tn, Financials at $159.5tn and Basic Materials at $47.2tn — larger than Technology's $22.7tn despite far fewer, and far smaller, constituent companies. Those totals almost certainly reflect currency mixing or duplicate listings rather than economic reality, and we would not build a thesis on them until they are normalised. For now, company counts are the trustworthy lens.
What to watch
Three things. First, Technology's dominance means universe-level sentiment will track AI and semiconductors closely. Second, the materials long tail is a leveraged read on the energy transition — lithium, gold, fertiliser. Third, the data pipeline itself: de-duplicating cross-listings and reconciling market caps to a single currency is the prerequisite for any credible weighting or aggregate.
