As of 6 June, information technology stocks accounted for half (48.4%) of the portfolio exposure followed by stocks from the consumer discretionary (13.6%), communication services (12.0%), and health care (10.0%) sectors.

Notable positions included Nvidia (13.4%), Microsoft (11.1%), Amazon (10.3%), Apple (6.7%), Meta Platforms (5.8%), and Visa (4.5%).
