History
The NASDAQ-100 began on January 31, 1985 by the NASDAQ, trying to promote itself in the
shadow of the New York Stock Exchange. It did so by creating two separate indices: this
index, which consists of Industrial, Technology, Retail, Telecommunication, Biotechnology,
Health Care, Transportation, Media and Service companies, and the NASDAQ Financial-100,
which consists of banking companies, insurance firms, brokerage houses and mortgage
companies. By creating these two indices, the NASDAQ hoped that options and futures
contracts would be created on them, and mutual funds would adopt them as their
benchmarks.
