However, its character is defined by its massive technology sector weighting, which exceeds 50% of the index. This tech concentration makes the NASDAQ the world&rsquo;s premier benchmark for technology, innovation, and growth-oriented companies. The NASDAQ exchange, founded in 1971 as the world&rsquo;s first electronic stock market, has attracted the listing of most major tech companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla. The related NASDAQ 100 (NDX) tracks the 100 largest non-financial NASDAQ-listed stocks and is the more commonly traded instrument via futures (NQ) and the hugely popular QQQ ETF.</p>
