Invesco NASDAQ-100 Swap UCITS ETF Acc

Invesco NASDAQ-100 Swap UCITS ETF Acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Invesco, traded under the ticker EQQS (ISIN IE00BNRQM384). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. It passively tracks the NASDAQ - 100 Notional NTR Index index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low, and its largest holdings include AMAZON.COM INC, NVIDIA CORP and ALPHABET INC-CL A. With about 230 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 29.2%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names. By geography it is weighted towards ~79.2% United States, ~9% Switzerland and ~2.8% Sweden. Its heaviest sectors are ~27.8% Technology and ~14.9% Consumer Discretionary. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.2% a year — about €20 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund; counting the trading costs inside the fund, the all-in figure is around 0.25%. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash. It tracks its index through a swap agreement rather than owning every holding (synthetic replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 5 out of 7, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2021, and its KID suggests a holding period of 5 years. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next.
