That's the opposite of what happened in August, when the cap-weighted Nasdaq's 11 per cent return was more than twice the equal-weight's. In that month, less than a third of large-cap active managers beat their benchmarks, with the average fund lagging by the widest margin since June 2016, according to Bank of America.

"If you've had 1 per cent or 2 per cent, that's made a huge difference because some of these names are up 50-70 per cent. It's very painful to not have those as part of your portfolio, even in multi-asset." Among some 200 equity funds that are benchmarked to the S&P 500 and have at least US$500 million in assets, those heavily tilted to FAAMG have greatly outperformed.

The big five, which also includes Microsoft, accounted for almost a quarter of the total buying of single stocks that Goldman's prime-brokerage unit executed during the week. Right now, roughly 60 per cent of the funds tracked by the firm favoured tech, making it the most popular industry.
