Despite the ubiquity of the Magnificent 7 in Australian daily life, far fewer Australians would own shares of them directly. Saying that, international stock market investing has never been more popular in Australia<\/a>. If an investor does own international stocks, there is a high chance that at least one of them will be a Mag 7 stock.<\/p>\n Personally, I directly own shares in five of the Magnificent 7. In fact, I have owned all seven of these ocmpaneis at various points (although never simultaneously).<\/p>\n Until quite recently, I thought of these positions as a small, although valuable portion of my overall portfolio. However, after a recent audit, I have discovered that I am far more invested in these seven stocks than I previously supposed.<\/p>\n Image source: Getty Images<\/p>\n The dominance of the Magnificent 7 stocks<\/p>\n It starts with an exchange-traded fund (ETF)<\/a> that I own. As I have previously discussed<\/a>, I recently sold my holdings in the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (AS:X NDQ) to buy a similar, but far cheaper ETF in the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (NYSE: SCHG).<\/p>\n All seven of the Magnificent 7 are core holdings of this fund. As they are in almost every major US-based ETF listed on the ASX. That includes the iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV<\/a>) and the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS<\/a>). Not to mention NDQ. Magnificent 7 stocks also sometimes pop up in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHD) and the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (NYSE: DGRO), which are also in my portfolio.<\/p>\n So that’s three.<\/p>\n Next, one of my largest investments is the listed investment company (LIC) MFF Capital Investments Ltd (ASX: MFF<\/a>). This Buffett-esque LIC is a long-term holding of mine, and a favourite investment. As it happens, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta Platforms are all large positions in MFF’s portfolio. That’s four.<\/p>\n These components routinely pop up in yet another of my favourite, long-term holdings. That would be the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT<\/a>). That’s five major personal investments that are exposed to at least one Mag 7 stock. Outside my direct ownership of five of the Magnificent 7 stocks.<\/p>\n Don’t forget about your superannuation<\/p>\n![\"Worried](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/too-much-16.9-1200x675.jpg\")
