Our read on QQQJ
BMost mid-cap funds sort the market by size and stop there. QQQJ takes the Nasdaq's next tier instead: about 110 innovation-leaning U.S. mid caps from the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index, a growthier cut than the standard mid-cap blend.
The fund seeks exposure to innovative U.S. mid-cap companies through the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index.
Why people hold it
- A different slice than the usual mid-cap fund: index-based exposure to innovative U.S. companies via the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index, roughly 110 names deep.invesco.com
- Costs 0.15% a year, right at the middle of its mid-cap peer group and a shade under IWR at 0.18%.
- It does what the label says. The fund stays tightly aligned with its stated index, and it is a billion-dollar-plus Invesco product that pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- About 110 Nasdaq-flavored holdings means a tighter, growthier basket than broad mid-cap funds that spread across several hundred stocks, with bigger swings to match.
- That 0.15% is five times what plain-vanilla mid-cap indexers charge (VO and SCHM sit at 0.03%). You are paying for the specific screen, not for size exposure.
- Launched in 2020, so its track record is short next to mid-cap staples with decades behind them, and it trades in moderate rather than heavy volume.
