The best ETF in the world: Why the iShares Nasdaq-100 ETF USD is a brilliant investment idea

According to a report by www.boerse-online.de,
ETFs continue to be popular with investors because they can invest in different industries or countries while fees are lower compared to other funds. But choosing the right ETF is crucial to ensuring long-term success. A report by etf.capital shows that the iShares Nasdaq-100 UCITS ETF USD has performed the best in the last five years and in the current year. The ETF focuses on the 100 largest non-financial companies in the Nasdaq Stock Market, with a high weighting of technology stocks. Despite its past success, doubts remain as to whether investing in the ETF is still worthwhile at this point, particularly due to the higher risk.

The Nasdaq 100 has returned over 170 percent over the past five years and has only gained more than 50 percent in 2023. This increase is mainly due to the growing interest in AI technologies. Although the ETF is considered the best ETF currently, it carries higher risk due to its high volatility and concentration on technology stocks. Nevertheless, it could represent a promising additional component in the ETF portfolio that can continue to ensure growth. However, investors must consider the higher risk appetite and long-term prospects of the technology companies included before making an investment decision.
