Q2 2026 ETF/index outlook: diversify and thrive
Our Q2 ETF/index outlook examines three different approaches to diversification.
The below is the foreword from our Q2 2026 ETF/index outlook.
Concentrated equity market leadership. Heightened geopolitical risk. Bond/equity correlation uncertainty. It’s no great surprise that diversification is top of the wish list for many risk-aware investors today.
This is particularly true following the onset of the conflict in the Middle East, which has increased market volatility. Instead, the question is how to achieve it.
In this publication, we offer three different perspectives on diversification, each combining detailed insights with practical solutions investors may wish to consider using today:
1. Why dividend income strategies may help increase sector diversification
2. The role of equal weight in overcoming equity market concentration risk
3. Why turning a factor investing lens on thematic strategies could reveal untapped diversification potential
What connects all of these ideas is the need for thoughtful implementation via strategies that aim to overcome real-world investor challenges. I hope you find these articles useful and thought provoking.

It should be noted that diversification is no guarantee against a loss in a declining market.
Key risks
The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and the investor may get back less than the original amount invested.
Whilst L&G has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.
The risks associated with each fund or investment strategy should be read and understood before making any investment decisions. Further information on the risks of investing in this fund is available in the prospectus here:
