Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Nasdaq 100 concentration risk important for institutional investors?
The Mag-7 (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Tesla) make up 55%+ of Nasdaq 100. This means the QQQ ETF is effectively a quasi-single-stock bet. Institutional investors using the index as a hedge face asymmetric risk: one bad AI earnings from Nvidia can move the entire index 2-3%.
