TSMC, SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO LTD, and SK HYNIX INC now command nearly 33% of the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index. This concentration mirrors the dominance of the "Magnificent Seven" in the United States, forcing active managers to liquidate winning positions to meet diversification mandates. Investors face a market where index performance is tethered to a handful of chipmakers, increasing volatility and distorting regional benchmarks.
