In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Rogers’ move to take full control of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and what it says about the rising value of professional sports franchises. We look at how Rogers’ sports assets compare to the company’s overall market value, why scarce live-sports assets continue to attract premium valuations, and how NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL franchise values have grown over the last decade.
We then shift to the S&P 500 and the growing debate around equal-weight versus market-cap-weighted ETFs. With the top holdings now making up a large share of the index, we discuss whether investors are still getting the diversification they expect, why AI-related concentration has become such a major factor, and how equal-weight ETFs can act as a defensive hedge while still keeping broad U.S. market exposure.
Tickers discussed: RCI.B.TO, BCE.TO, RSP, EQL.TO, EQL.F.TO, VOO, ZSP.TO, MSFT, MU, TSLA, WMT, BRK.B, LLY, JPM
