U100 questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Global X US 100 ETF?
Global X US 100 ETF holds 99 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 58.2% of the fund, more concentrated than the 37.6% typical of United States equity funds. That makes it moderately diversified.
Its country exposure is almost entirely United States (100.0%), based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does U100 double up with most?
U100 shares the most holdings with Betashares Wealth Builder Nasdaq 100 Geared (30-40% LVR) Complex ETF (GNDQ) (72% overlap), Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) (71% overlap) and Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ) (70% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
At 72%, owning both U100 and GNDQ would mostly double up on the same investments rather than spread your money further.
How is Global X US 100 ETF managed – active or passive?
Global X US 100 ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among United States equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.43% a year and index funds 0.32%.
What will I pay in fees for U100?
U100 charges a management fee of 0.18% a year, about $18 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 87% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among United States equity funds, the median is 0.35%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include iShares S&P 500 ETF (IVV) at 0.04%, Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF (VTS) at 0.03% and Vanguard All-World ex US Shares Index ETF (VEU) at 0.04%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.16% for U100.
Does Global X US 100 ETF follow a theme?
No. Global X US 100 ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (United States) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of U100?
As at 2 Sept 2026, U100's ten largest holdings are Nvidia Corp (11.1%), Apple Inc (9.9%), Microsoft Corp (7.7%), Amazon.com Inc (5.7%), Alphabet Inc-A (4.1%), Alphabet Inc-C (3.8%), Broadcom Inc (3.6%), Micron Tech (3.4%), Meta Platforms-A (3.2%) and Adv Micro Device (3.0%). Together they make up 55.5% of the fund.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for U100's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 58.2% compares with 37.6% for similar funds.
How well has Global X US 100 ETF performed?
Based on its category, Global X US 100 ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 6.5% over 1 year (median 7.0%; ranked 15 of 27) and 23.6% a year over 3 years (median 16.2% a year; ranked 3 of 18). The medians and rankings compare it with United States equity funds. Since listing in 2023 it has returned 21.9% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for U100; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.18% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
