Penserra boosts Invesco QQQ (QQQ) stake as Nasdaq proposes “fast entry” for Nasdaq-100

Penserra Capital Management LLC boosted its stake in the Invesco QQQ Trust during the third quarter, raising its share count by 26.2% to 66,979, worth roughly $40.2 million, according to an SEC filing. Morgan Dempsey Capital Management entered with a new position, while Navigoe LLC and PayPay Securities also upped their holdings, the filing revealed. That’s important since QQQ now serves as a blunt tool for trading U.S. mega-cap growth — and the tape has been volatile. The ETF slipped roughly 1.7% to $605.19 in late morning action, after swinging between $605.10 and $621.94 earlier in the session.
