How much of the market course is being set by just a handful of companies? Market leadership shifts over time.
So even when more stocks are participating in a rally, concentration risk remains if a relatively small group of stocks still drives a large share of the market's value and return.

When the winds change, portfolios that rely too heavily on just a handful of stocks are more vulnerable to sudden shifts.

Managing concentration risk is about maintaining balance so that a portfolio stays resilient through changing conditions.
