Steve Rogers joined Nasdaq TradeTalks to unpack how the Nasdaq-100 ecosystem is evolving for retirement needs.

The conversation highlights retirement-first considerations, including why Nasdaq-100 exposure remains uncommon in many 401(k) lineups,* even as 80% of plan participants report that they want access to innovation in their 401(k)s.**

It also highlights Shelton Capital Management Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, Institutional Shares (NQQQX) as one way to access the Nasdaq-100 through a mutual fund structure intended for long-term investors.
