The term “MAG Seven”, or “Magnificent Seven”, was coined by Bank of America Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett in 2023. Tech behemoths comprising Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla make up the “MAG Seven” universe. MAG Seven companies are known for their market leadership, technological influence, and impact on consumer behavior. With USD 15.41 trillion of market cap, MAG Seven stocks have now surpassed the total size of Japan, Canada and the UK's stock markets¹. MAG Seven’s weight in the S&P 500 Index has approximately tripled since 2015, rising from 11.93% to 31.65%². In the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index, the proportion of MAG Seven has retained its magnificence with steady increase, dominating the market perennially³.

The Index offers equal-weighted exposure to MAG Seven companies and is rebalanced on a quarterly basis, with each stock comprising approximately 14.29%. Since 2015, the Index has been outperforming major indices. While the Nasdaq Composite achieved 44.64% and the S&P 500 yielded 26.29% annual return in 2023 respectively, Solactive Magnificent Seven Index outstripped both indices outright with a remarkable 108.39% annual return⁴. 3454.HK provides an opportunity to buy MAG Seven stocks at once with low investment thresholds during Hong Kong trading hours.
