Too much AI exposure? Can Apple be the diversification play in your portfolio? What Indian investors need to know
Apple is becoming a safer way to own US tech. It spent just $6.8 billion on infrastructure in nine months, while rivals spend $30–54 billion a quarter. Apple returned $62 billion via buybacks, and shares rose 7% in a month. If you hold too much AI-heavy tech, spreading into different themes may reduce risk. US ETFs can help Indian investors diversify.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Apple spent about $6.8 billion on capital spending in nine months, far less than rivals spending $30–54 billion in a single quarter.
- Apple shares gained about 7% over the past month, and its correlation with the Nasdaq-100 turned sharply negative, acting like a hedge.
- Apple returned $62 billion to shareholders through buybacks in nine months.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold heavy US AI or tech positions, consider diversifying through US ETFs rather than chasing whichever theme is currently working.
