Top 100 US tech & growth (Invesco version)
Same 100 US tech-and-growth giants as the iShares Nasdaq fund: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc. The difference: this version pays the dividends out to you in cash rather than reinvesting them. Slightly less convenient if you're holding for the long term.

Frequently asked questions
Is EQQQ.L accumulating or distributing?
Invesco EQQQ NASDAQ-100 UCITS ETF (EQQQ.L) is a distributing ETF, so it pays its dividends out to you as cash, usually a few times a year. If you would rather have dividends reinvested automatically, look for an accumulating share class of the same index.
What is the annual fee (TER) for EQQQ.L?
EQQQ.L has a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.30% per year. On a $10,000 holding that is roughly $30 a year, charged inside the fund rather than billed to you separately. A lower fee leaves more of the return compounding for you over time.
Can I buy EQQQ.L on Interactive Brokers?
Yes. EQQQ.L trades on LSE, GBp and is available to investors worldwide through Interactive Brokers (IBKR). IBKR is the most popular way to buy UCITS ETFs because of its low FX conversion cost (around 0.03%) and low trading commissions.
What does EQQQ.L invest in?
Invesco EQQQ NASDAQ-100 UCITS ETF (EQQQ.L) tracks the NASDAQ-100. Same 100 US tech-and-growth giants as the iShares Nasdaq fund: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc. You buy one fund and get the whole basket in a single trade.
Is EQQQ.L a UCITS ETF, and where is it domiciled?
Yes, EQQQ.L is a UCITS ETF domiciled in Ireland. For non-US investors, Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs are usually preferred over US-domiciled ones: US dividend withholding tax is 15% under the tax treaty (versus 30% on US-domiciled funds for many non-US investors), and the holdings sit outside US estate tax.
How risky is EQQQ.L?
On the TickerCompare 1 to 5 scale, EQQQ.L is rated higher risk (4/5), based on how much its price has moved historically. Higher-risk funds can fall further in a downturn, so match the choice to your time horizon and how much volatility you can stomach.
