Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index ETF remains a buy over Invesco QQQ ETF, which is rated hold, due to defensive and uncorrelated exposure. QQQE's recent outperformance was driven by mid-tier growth, biotech, and lower hyperscaler concentration, despite a market regime that did not favor defensiveness. QQQ's concentrated semis exposure, especially in Micron and Nvidia, raises drawdown risks and lacks the natural rebalancing discipline of QQQE.

The fund is an investment vehicle that primarily focuses on replicating the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index®, but with a distinct approach by equal weighting the index components.

The NASDAQ-100 Index® is renowned for representing approximately 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international companies listed on the NASDAQ® Stock Market, based on market capitalization. However, it is important to note that the fund is classified as non-diversified, concentrating its investments more narrowly than diversified funds.

This approach to investment seeks to replicate the performance of the equal weighted version of the NASDAQ-100 Index®. By allocating assets equally among the approximated 100 large-cap domestic and international non-financial companies that form the index, the strategy endeavors to provide a distinct return profile compared to the market capitalization-weighted indexes. The focus on equal weighting allows for potential overperformance compared to the conventional index, especially if smaller companies within the index outperform their larger counterparts.
