QQQE is an ETF that seeks to track the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index. Unlike traditional market-capitalization-weighted indexes, this fund assigns equal weight to each of the 100 non-financial companies in the NASDAQ-100 and rebalances quarterly. This equal-weighting scheme reduces concentration risk in the largest technology companies and increases the fund's exposure to smaller-cap and mid-cap companies within the index, providing a differentiated growth profile.
