Nothing surprises me much anymore, neither should the results of the survey that a Nasdaq 100 survey supports the inclusion of Nasdaq 100 index funds.<\/p>\n
According to the Annual Nasdaq-100 Retirement Plan Survey, nearly 80 percent of 401(k) plan participants recognize the importance of including a Nasdaq-100 product in their investment options. This finding suggests a new market opportunity for retirement plans.<\/p>\n
The survey, which included 1,000 401(k) participants and reflected the 2023 U.S. Census data regarding gender, age, and region, revealed significant demand among investors for the index within retirement plans.<\/p>\n
As of December 31, 2024, Americans held $12.4 trillion in all employer-based defined contribution retirement plans, with $8.9 trillion of that in 401(k) plans, according to a quarterly report from the Investment Company Institute published on March 25, 2025.<\/p>\n
However, data from over 700,000 401(k) plans shows that the allocation to Nasdaq-100 Index mutual funds accounts for less than 1% of all 401(k) assets. This is a notable underrepresentation compared to allocations in the S&P 500 and other large-cap growth indexes, as indicated by BrightScope Beacon.<\/p>\n
