Nasdaq rebalance is coming July 24th, but what does it all mean??? The magnificent 7 which makes up 55% of the index (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Google ,Meta and Amazon) have led anything good that has happened in recent times in the NASDAQ 100, so the powers that be will now clip their weighting wings in the hopes that the index will be more representative of what’s happening across the broader NASDAQ 100. This doesn’t change anything about what’s really happening in the market however, and your p[portfolio won’t be worse or better off.
That could be why your performance seems to lag the indexes however.
Stocks overall are mixed and overshadowed by Inflation data. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) slipped below the flatline, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) traded up 0.4%, or more than 130 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell 0.24%.
Wall Street is looking ahead to US consumer and producer inflation reports due later this week, expected to show that price pressures are easing. That could nudge the Federal Reserve into easing up on rate rises later this year, though it’s still seen as likely to hike in July even after some cooling in the June jobs report.
Nasdaq 100 Plans Special Rebalance To Curb Dominance Of ‘Magnificent Seven’
The Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ), which tracks the big-cap Nasdaq index, was up 37.5% in 2023 through July 7. The First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index ETF (QQEW), which gives an equal weight to all 100 stocks, is up just 18.8%.
This largely reflects massive moves by megacaps this year. NVDA stock has nearly tripled (191%). META stock has soared 141% while TSLA stock is up 123%. AMZN stock has leapt 54.5%. AAPL stock has run up 47% and MSFT stock nearly 41%. Google stock is up a still-robust 35%.

How Have Expert Stock Selection ETFs Performed in this Decade Thus Far?
June 26, 2023 by Herb Blank
Throughout my career, I’ve heard professional investors assert that index funds are fine for bull markets but in volatile-to-down markets, active management will outperform. SPIVA (S&P vs. Global) published research available from S&P Global has demonstrated that this was not true for actively managed mutual funds for 2022, and less true for the 2020-2022 period. I take that with a grain of salt because it compares an index to traditional mutual funds that have a costly structure.
In my article available on the ValuEngine website, I explain why the redeem-at-distributor model costs investors in the average equity mutual fund more than 2.0% in return per year. I believe the fair comparison is actively managed ETFs to an efficient S&P 500 ETF such as iShares’ IVV or Vanguard’s VOO. Once the structure issue is neutralized, then it is a fair comparison. Although actively managed ETFs are one of the two fastest growth areas in the industry, many have short histories as the trend toward well-known managers providing active selection in the ETF structure did not really get going until the last few years. Prior to that, a few “smart stock selection” ETFs “indexized” expert stock selection. This week, we look at two of those ETFs along with two actively managed ETFs that follow quantitative disciplines. The common theme is expert stock selection.
