Introduction
? In this brief report we have ranked the global top 100 companies by market capitalisation and highlighted the major trends since 2009 as they emerged from the global financial crisis.
Key highlights
? The market capitalisation of the global top 100 has decreased for the first time since post-crisis levels, down 4% compared to 31 March 2015.
? Apple retains the pole position for the 5th year in a row. However, its market cap decreased by 17% and the gap with second placed Alphabet (ex-Google) has narrowed from $350bn to $86bn.
? The Top 5 companies are unchanged compared to last year. New entrants in the Top 10 include Amazon.
? Technology has overtaken Financials to become the largest sector in terms of market cap ($2,993bn). Consumer goods ($2,517bn) came third, recording the highest number of companies (19).
? The US is still increasing its dominance ? 54 out of 100 are US companies and all the Top 10 are now US companies. Europe continues to fall behind in its share of the Top 100.
? A total of $667bn has been distributed to shareholders by the Top 100 companies.
Update post-EU referendum vote to leave EU
? Further top-line analysis of the Top 100 since the recent result of the UK's EU referendum vote shows very little change with only a slight downward movement in the overall market capitalisation, and some minor changes in the constituents of the Top 100 at the bottom of the table.

The ranking methodology
Methodology ? The Global Top 100 list ranks companies by their market capitalisation in US$ as at 31 March 2016 and compares this with the Top 100
list as at 31 March 2015 and 2009 ? Data source is Bloomberg, with PwC analysis ? Industry classification is based on ICB ? ETFs and closed end funds are excluded from the analysis ? In order to meet market perception we allocated dual-listed companies as follows: BHP Billiton (AUS), Rio Tinto (UK), Royal Dutch
Shell (UK) and Unilever (NL) ? The ranking does not compensate for changes in currency exchange rates ? The distribution of value is based on dividend payments and share repurchases in 2015

? Apple is still the world's most valuable company but this is at risk. The battle for the top spot is tight, and Alphabet (ex-Google) temporarily dethroned Apple in February 2016 for the first time.
? But Apple is also returning cash to shareholders with another $42bn handed back to investors in dividends and share repurchases in calendar year 2015 ($56bn was distributed in 2014). Google does not pay dividends or undertake share buybacks.

Market cap of the Top 100 by world region
? The US has seen an impressive growth of its share of the largest companies since 31 March 2008. It gained 7 companies between 2008 and 2009 and since then gained an additional 12 companies, all mainly at the expense of Europe. By market cap the US share was 38% at 31 March 2008 rising to 62% in 2016.
? Europe was badly hit by the financial crisis and lost 10 companies between 31 March 2008 and 2009, but then has lost further share falling to 24 companies this year. Between 2015 and 2016, Europe lost a further 2 companies. By market cap the Europe share was 36% at 31 March 2008 falling to just 19% in 2016.
? China/Hong Kong had been relatively stable from 2009 to 2014, but rose in 2015 by gaining 3 companies and by almost doubling its market value. However in 2016, though all 11 companies survived, their market capitalisation was adversely impacted by the weak performance of Chinese markets.
