Our read on QQQ
AThe 1999 original. QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100, roughly 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq, and has become one of the most heavily traded funds on the market.
The trust is designed to match the pre-expense investment performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index.
Why people hold it
- Launched in 1999, it is one of the longest-running ETFs in the US and one of the most actively traded, which usually means tight spreads and easy fills at size.
- The mandate is simple: match the Nasdaq-100 before expenses. Tracking has stayed about as close to the index as this structure allows.
- At 0.18%, the fee sits below the typical Nasdaq-100 tracker, and the fund is one of the largest ETFs in existence.
- The index screens out financial companies, so you own Nasdaq-listed tech, consumer and healthcare heavyweights rather than a broad slice of the market.nasdaq.com
Worth knowing
- Invesco's own QQQM follows the same index for 0.15%. QQQ's edge is trading depth, not price.
- About 100 market-cap-weighted names with no financials: the biggest few carry a lot of the index, and sector swings land harder than in a total-market fund.nasdaq.com
- Income is a side effect here, not the point. Distributions are paid quarterly and the index leans toward growth companies.nasdaq.com
