About First Trust NASDAQ-100 Ex-Technology Sector Index Fund
First Trust NASDAQ-100 Ex-Technology Sector Index Fund (NASDAQ:QQXT) focuses on offering investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield of the NASDAQ-100 Ex-Tech Sector Index. This index is unique as it excludes companies operating predominantly in the technology industry from the NASDAQ-100 Index, targeting those who seek exposure to sectors outside of technology within the NASDAQ-100. The fund is managed with the aim to invest at least 90% of its net assets in the common stocks that comprise the index, ensuring a diversified portfolio across various sectors such as healthcare, consumer goods, and industrials. By doing so, QQXT aims to provide investors an opportunity to capitalize on the growth potential of the non-tech segments of some of the largest and most innovative companies listed on the NASDAQ.
