#NasdaqETFUpdate Here's an update on Nasdaq ETFs, as of June 11, 2025:

Overall Performance & Trends:

* Strong Long-Term Performance: Nasdaq-tracking ETFs, particularly those mirroring the Nasdaq-100 Index (like Invesco QQQ), have demonstrated strong long-term performance. The Nasdaq-100 has had a positive return in 15 out of 17 years between 2008 and 2024. Invesco QQQ has outperformed the S&P 500 in seven out of the last ten years (as of March 31, 2025).

* Innovation Focus: The Nasdaq-100 continues to be a benchmark for innovative companies, heavily weighted towards the information technology sector (around 51.2% as of May 30, 2025), followed by communication services and consumer discretionary. This focus on R&D and innovation is seen as a key driver of their revenue, earnings, and dividend growth.

* Concentration: A significant portion of the Nasdaq-100's performance is driven by its top holdings, which include tech giants like Microsoft, NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, and Broadcom. The top 10 company holdings account for a substantial percentage (around 48-50%) of the index.

Recent Performance (as of early June 2025):

* Short-term fluctuations: While long-term trends are positive, there can be short-term fluctuations. For example, some sources show a slight negative return for the Nasdaq-100 YTD in 2025 (-14.78% in one source, but others show positive returns over shorter periods, e.g. +7.14% for 1 month for iShares Nasdaq 100 UCITS ETF).
