Company overview

Company snapshot

Invesco QQQ Trust seeks to track the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® by holding a portfolio that mirrors the index's composition and weighting.

The fund is structured as a passively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on low-cost index replication, and it offers exposure to leading non-financial companies in the U.S. equity market.

Foolish take

Miracle Mile Advisors, LLC reduced its position in Invesco QQQ Trust during the third quarter, selling approximately 137,000 shares. While it's a big move in dollar terms as a $78 million sale, it only represents a 1.2% shift in the fund's AUM.

The timing of this sell is notable, as QQQ has had a strong run. The ETF is up by approximately 20% year to date and close to 24% over the last 12 months ending October 20, 2025.

It's not surprising, then, that an institutional investor would want to capitalize on those gains. Considering Miracle Mile Advisors still retains over 263,000 shares of QQQ and the ETF is the eighth-largest holding in its portfolio, it's likely this sell was more about profit-taking and less about losing faith in the investment itself.
