The EQQU is associated with the Invesco EQQQ NASDAQ-100 UCITS ETF (Acc), an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by Invesco. The fund seeks to track the Nasdaq-100 Index, a benchmark comprising 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
The fund provides exposure to large Nasdaq-listed companies through a passive investment strategy and uses physical replication, holding shares of companies represented in its benchmark.
The Nasdaq-100 includes companies across several sectors, with significant exposure to technology, communication services, and consumer-related businesses. Financial companies are excluded from the index universe.
The benchmark uses a modified market-capitalization-weighted methodology, with rules designed to limit excessive concentration in individual constituents. Its composition and weights are periodically reviewed according to Nasdaq's index methodology.
Composition / Exposure Profile
The portfolio includes companies across different sectors, including:
Information technology.
Consumer discretionary.
Communication services.
Health care.
Industrials.
Consumer staples.
Utilities.
The index includes major technology companies, digital platforms, semiconductor manufacturers, e-commerce businesses, software companies, biotechnology firms, and companies across other non-financial industries.
Although most of the index's exposure is associated with U.S. companies, the NASDAQ-100 can also include international companies that meet its eligibility requirements and are listed on the Nasdaq.
Structure and Costs
The fund and share class have the U.S. dollar as their base currency. The share class is not currency hedged. The ETF has an ongoing charge of 0.30% per year, uses physical replication, and is domiciled in Ireland. It operates as part of Invesco Markets III plc under the UCITS framework.
The share class follows an accumulating income policy. Dividends received from portfolio companies are therefore reinvested within the fund rather than periodically distributed to shareholders.
History and Evolution of the ETF
The accumulating share class of the Invesco EQQQ NASDAQ-100 UCITS ETF was launched in 2018 to provide exposure to the NASDAQ-100 Index while reinvesting income generated by the portfolio.
Since its launch, the share class has maintained a passive strategy linked to the Nasdaq-100, tracking the performance of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq.
Throughout its history, its performance has reflected movements in the companies represented in the index, with significant influence from the technology, communication services, and consumer sectors, alongside factors such as economic growth, interest rates, technological developments, and changes in equity-market valuations.
