Shares in US semiconductor manufacturer Nvidia fell by 17 per cent on Tuesday, reducing its market capitalisation by nearly $US600bn. Analysis by VanEck shows that Australian fund managers and superannuation funds hold about $28bn worth of Nvidia’s shares, although this figure may be higher given that some funds do not disclose their holdings. Sam Sicilia from Hostplus says all high-performing stocks must decline at some point, and the question is whether Nvidia’s share price will rebound and what impact it will have on the broader sharemarket.
