About this fund

Leading global brands

Overview

This fund invests in companies from a range of industries across the globe, excluding companies involved in the financial services sector. Companies within the NASDAQ 100 Index are some of the largest in the world — think Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, NVIDIA. 

Investing in this ETF gives broad exposure to some of the world’s largest companies by market value — all in a single investment.

Sector exposure

The fund follows a modified market-cap weighted index — meaning companies with higher stock market value carry more weight, but financial companies are excluded, and there are set parameters a company must meet to be listed.

At present, the top industries are tech, communications, consumer goods and healthcare. These sector weightings naturally change over time based on market movements.

Index Tracker

This is a passive index fund, meaning it does not aim to outperform the market or pick individual winners. Instead, it tracks the NASDAQ 100 Index, which reflects the performance of companies in developed European markets.

Because of its index-tracking structure, it’s typically lower cost and automatically updated to reflect changes in the underlying index.

NASDAQ 100 FAQ's

Is the NASDAQ 100 just tech companies?

While it’s often associated with technology, the NASDAQ 100 includes a range of sectors — including consumer services, healthcare, and industrials. However, tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA do make up a significant portion of the index.

Why might investors choose a NASDAQ 100 fund?

A NASDAQ 100 fund offers exposure to many of the world’s most innovative and influential companies in a single investment. It’s a way to track a dynamic part of the U.S. stock market, especially focused on growth-oriented businesses.

Is this fund suitable for beginners?

It can be suitable for beginners who are comfortable with an index fund with fewer holdings, and understand that it may be more volatile than broader market indices. It’s important to consider how it fits with your overall risk tolerance and investment strategy.

Why would I buy a fund over individual stocks?

This fund gives you access to 100 companies within one investment. By investing in an index fund rather than the shares within the index, you’ll cut down on risk, effort, and most likely costs too.
