The Invesco EQQQ Nasdaq-100 UCITS ETF Dist (EQQQ) is an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by Invesco and traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index, a benchmark composed of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq and characterized by significant exposure to technology, consumer, and communication services companies.
EQQQ follows a passive investment strategy and uses physical replication to track its benchmark. The fund operates under the UCITS framework and follows a distributing income policy.
The Nasdaq-100 Index includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq that meet its eligibility requirements. The benchmark uses a modified market-capitalization-weighted methodology, with rules designed to limit excessive concentration in individual constituents. The index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced periodically.

EQQQ holds companies across several economic sectors, including:
Information technology.
Consumer discretionary.
Communication services.

Technology accounts for a significant portion of the portfolio, providing exposure to areas such as software, semiconductors, hardware, and digital infrastructure. The fund also invests in major companies across e-commerce, digital platforms, communications, health care, and other industries represented in the Nasdaq-100.
