Billionaires Boost Positions in AI-Heavy QQQ ETF as Tech Sector Gains Momentum
Three of Wall Street's most successful hedge funds - Citadel, Millennium Management, and Point72 - significantly increased their stakes in the Invesco QQQ Trust during Q1. Ken Griffin's Citadel added 2.2 million shares, making it their third-largest holding, while Israel Englander and Steven Cohen built smaller but strategic positions.
The $244 billion ETF, tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, maintains heavy exposure to technology firms positioned to capitalize on artificial intelligence growth. With over 60% allocation to tech stocks, QQQ offers concentrated access to AI infrastructure players and software leaders driving the sector's expansion.
Historical performance suggests disciplined monthly investments could compound significantly. A $500 recurring position over 20 years WOULD have grown to approximately $432,300 based on the fund's track record since inception.
