Analyzing a decade of market data (2015-2025), this group compared the NASDAQ-100 (QQQ) and S&P 500 (SPY) ETFs to understand the dynamics of tech sector performance. Employing metrics like rolling returns, volatility analysis, and Beta calculation, they successfully quantified QQQ's tendency to outperform SPY during growth periods while also exhibiting higher risk, especially during market stress. The project effectively illustrates how QQQ, with a Beta over 1, magnifies market movements, offering insights for portfolio construction concerning technology sector exposure.
