Understanding this ETF
It tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, made up of about 100 large-caps among companies listed on the US Nasdaq market, excluding financial companies. Financial businesses such as banks, insurers and brokerages are excluded entirely, and because larger names are held in bigger amounts under a market-cap weighting scheme, its technology and growth character is pronounced.
Because it tracks the index at 1x, it rises when Nasdaq large-cap technology names rise and falls when they fall. Since it is not FX-hedged (FX-exposed), changes in the won-dollar exchange rate are reflected directly in returns on top of US stock-price moves. A gain is added when the rate rises, and the gain shrinks when it falls.
Its strength is broad exposure to high-growth US technology stocks in areas such as AI, semiconductors and software. Conversely, because concentration in technology is large, it has strong momentum in rallies but its drawdowns can also be larger in corrections, so it is worth remembering that its volatility tends to be higher than a representative market index. As an FX-exposed product, the exchange rate also affects returns.
In the first half of 2026 the Nasdaq showed a strong rise on AI expectations and climbed to near record highs. After the early-June peak, however, semiconductor and technology stocks corrected and the index pulled back somewhat from its high; subsequently some technology stocks rebounded, and a pattern of larger swings continued.
In short, it holds about 100 large US Nasdaq technology and growth stocks in a single basket and tracks them directly; it has a strong technology tilt, and changes in the exchange rate are reflected as well.
Composition
Information technology carries overwhelmingly large weight, followed by communication services, consumer and healthcare. As of recent market data, weight is heavily tilted toward a few top names such as Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon, to the point that the top 10 names account for more than a third of the index. Semiconductor and AI-related companies such as ASML, Micron and Broadcom are heavily included, so its technology concentration and volatility tend to be generally higher than the S&P 500.
Classification
Notes & cautions
- Because it is not FX-hedged, won-dollar exchange rate movements directly affect returns.
- Concentration in technology and a few top names is high, so volatility can be larger than a representative market index.
