The NASDAQ, an acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations, was established in 1971 as the world’s first electronic stock market. It has become the second-largest stock exchange by market capitalization.
Unlike the NYSE, or various other exchanges, the NASDAQ operates entirely electronically, providing a fast and efficient trading environment. NASDAQ is home to many of the world’s leading technology companies, including the ‘Magnificent 7'. This leading group comprising Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Netflix, Alphabet, and Amazon, make up more than 30% of the S&P 500 index.
The tech heavy nature of the exchange makes it a natural hub for innovation and growth.
