Recent U.S. trade tariffs have disrupted mega-cap tech stocks, including Nvidia, as geopolitical tensions rise. This volatility underscores the vulnerability of a market reliant on a few large-cap names. However, indices like the Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Index showed resilience, benefiting from diversified positioning in defensive and healthcare sectors.2

Despite market volatility, the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index has outperformed broader small-cap benchmarks. Its focus on companies with strong economic moats provided stability, unlike the sharp declines seen in other small-cap segments. This performance highlights the value of economic moats during periods of heightened uncertainty.2
