@David Kostin 认为,美国股市目前的集中度过高,这与长期较低的回报率相关。他使用了两种指标来衡量市场集中度:前十大股票在标普500指数中所占的市场份额,以及最大股票与第75百分位股票的市值之比。他发现,当前前十大股票的市场份额约为36%,高于历史平均水平。他认为,高市场集中度会导致更高的波动性和负的风险溢价,因为少数公司在推动指数变化,而且这些公司估值过高,其高增长预期难以持续。他预测,未来十年美国股市的回报率将低于前十年,建议投资者选择市值加权基准而非市值加权指数。 @Owen Lamont 则认为,投资者对市场高度集中的担忧被夸大了。他认为,当前的市场集中度处于历史正常范围内,与其他国家相比,美国股市的集中度仍然较低。他指出,市场集中度上升的主要原因是大型公司的利润增长,而非估值过高。他认为,市场集中度本身并不增加市场风险,风险主要来自基本面风险和价格偏离基本面。他预测,未来十年美国股市的回报率将低于前十年,主要原因是市场估值过高。
