Summary
NISA Investment Advisors, LLC has established a new $78.7M stake in $QQQ, the Invesco QQQ Trust that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, according to SEC 13F filings disclosing holdings as of March 31, 2026. The filing, reported by Quiver Quantitative on April 30, 2026, provides institutional investors with visibility into fund positioning during a period of significant market movements.
The $QQQ position addition by NISA reflects broader institutional appetite for Nasdaq-100 exposure. During the most recent quarterly reporting period, 1,675 institutional investors increased their $QQQ holdings while 1,652 reduced positions, demonstrating a net positive bias toward the technology-heavy benchmark. This 23-investor advantage in favor of buyers underscores continued institutional confidence in large-cap technology sector allocations.
Institutional trading activity in $QQQ during Q4 2025 reveals notable strategic divergence among major asset managers. Corient Private Wealth executed the largest increase, adding approximately 20.9 million shares valued at $12.8 billion—a 3,565.8% surge—signaling aggressive repositioning toward tech exposure.
