In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger recounts the launch of the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) on March 10, 1999—an ETF that revolutionized access to technology investing by tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. Discover how QQQ navigated the tech boom, the dot-com bust, and came back as a cornerstone of equity portfolios. We’ll explore how its structure, liquidity, and innovation-focused portfolio made it a pioneer among ETFs, and how it still stands tall in 2025—crossing $300 billion in assets, outpacing the S&P 500, and acting as a key barometer of tech-driven markets.
