The Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ) is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of mid-cap U.S. companies with the potential to become future constituents of the Nasdaq-100. The ETF is managed by Invesco and trades under the ticker QQQJ on the Nasdaq.
Classified as an equity ETF, the fund invests in companies included in the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index, which consists of the 100 largest eligible companies listed on the Nasdaq that are not members of the Nasdaq-100. Its strategy provides exposure to businesses in an advanced stage of growth that are considered potential future additions to the Nasdaq-100.
The ETF follows a passive management approach and seeks to replicate the performance of the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index, which includes companies from a broad range of industries while excluding financial institutions, using a methodology similar to that of the Nasdaq-100.
