QQH is one of the first two ETFs launched by Howard Capital Management. The fund seeks to outperform the Solactive U.S. Technology 100 index using a proprietary risk metric. QQH alternates exposure between 100% exposure to U.S. large cap technology stocks, 100% to 1-3 month Treasury bills, or a 50/50 combination of both. Based on the broad trend of the equity market, a quantitative investment model dictates the level of equity and T-bill exposure.
