NDX
), and its
top five holdings, including Microsoft (
NASDAQ:MSFT
), Apple (
NASDAQ:AAPL
), Nvidia, Amazon (
NASDAQ:AMZN
), and Alphabet (
NASDAQ:GOOGL
) have delivered substantial gains in 2023. Refer to the image below for the weightage and performance of its top five holdings so far this year.
