Back to EpisodesDaniel Santiago (State Street): Sector ETFs, S&P Concentration, and Reading the Cycle
Published 1 day, 12 hours ago
Description
Daniel Santiago from State Street Global Advisors joins Michael A. Gayed, CFA to unpack sector ETF investing in 2026 — the original SPDR product line, now the largest and most liquid sector suite on the market. We get into the Magnificent Seven concentration problem in the S&P 500, how State Street's GICS-based classification actually works (including why SpaceX classifies as communication services), sector dispersion versus style/factor dispersion, and how to think about sector rotation given where we are in the economic cycle.
For allocators, advisors, and anyone building portfolios who wants a cleaner framework for reading the tape sector by sector.
