Fund Description
The P owerShares QQQ tracks a modified market-cap-weighted index of 100 NAS DAQ-listed stocks.
FactSet Insight
QQQ is one of the most established and most traded ET Fs in the world. It's also one of the most
unusual. The fund only invests in nonfinancial stocks listed on NASDAQ, causing it to skew massively away from a broad-based large-capportfolio. QQQ is heavily overweighttechnology, with almost 60% of itsportfolio in tech and 13% in Applealone, but it is not a 'tech fund' in the
pure sense either. QQQ tilts much larger than our benchmark and is much more concentrated in its topholdings. Still, it is extremely liquid, so frequent traders with a soft spot for Apple may really like it. QQQshould appeal to investors who are bullish on technology but don't want to buy a 100% tech fund.

FactSet Fit Insight
QQQ offers idiosyncratic, unbalanced exposure to large caps, with massive emphasis on tech stocks.It only holds stocks traded on the NASDAQ—an unusual selection method—and ignores entiresectors, including financials, energy and utilities. The fund's arcane weighting rules further distance itfrom anything close to plain vanilla coverage. Sector biases aside, QQQ makes big individual bets too
with 13% in Apple alone, and another 13% s plit between Microsoft and Goog le, raising concentration
risk.
