BlackRock has filed for an exchange-traded fund that will track the Nasdaq-100, in a challenge to Invesco’s dominance in a market where only a handful of funds directly follow the tech-heavy index.<\/p>\n

The world’s largest asset manager is seeking approval for iShares Nasdaq-100 ETF, which will trade under the ticker “IQQ,” it said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.<\/p>\n

The fund would compete with Invesco’s QQQ Trust ETF, one of the largest ETFs in the world, with around $376 billion in assets under management, according to data compiled by LSEG.<\/p>\n

“Expanding access to the Nasdaq-100 is intended to be additive, supporting investors by improving the efficiency, liquidity, and availability of benchmark-linked exposure across markets and product types,” Nasdaq said in a public statement.<\/p>\n

Only a handful of publicly available ETFs exclusively track the Nasdaq-100, according to data from VettaFi’s ETF database.<\/p>\n
