CQTM vs WQTM

CQTMBCorgi Quantum Computing ETF

WQTMAWisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund

In short

CQTM An active take on the quantum race that plays both sides: the companies building the machines and the ones building security meant to survive them. Fee is 0.35% a year, under the typical global thematic fund.

WQTM Plenty of quantum ETFs treat a chip giant and a qubit startup as near-equals. WQTM, built with quantum software firm Classiq, scores how central quantum actually is to each company and pushes weight toward the pure plays.

Stated mandate

CQTM The Fund's stated aim is to increase the value of shareholders' investments.

WQTM The Fund passively tracks the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index.

Why people hold it

• CQTM 0.35% a year, comfortably below the median fee for the global thematic funds we grade.
• The 80% mandate stretches past hardware: quantum-enabled technologies and post-quantum security are in scope, so defense against quantum counts alongside the build-out.
• Actively managed and global in reach (US and international names), so the manager can rotate as the field moves instead of waiting on an index committee.
• Lands in the upper half of its global thematic peer group in our grading, with no structural red flags on the wrapper (a standard 1940 Act fund).

• WQTM Every eligible company gets a relevancy score plus a 'pure' or 'diversified' tag, and those two judgments set its weight. Adjacency gets less; quantum-first gets more.wisdomtree.comwisdomtree.com 2
• The index was co-developed with Classiq, a quantum software firm, and rebalances quarterly, so a fast-moving list of newly public names gets revisited on a set schedule.wisdomtree.com
• Global reach, roughly 50 stocks, spanning quantum hardware, software, services, cryptography and the enabling tech underneath.thequantuminsider.com
• Rules-based and passive rather than a manager's stock picks, and it sits in the top quartile of its quantum and photonics peer group on our review.

Worth knowing

• CQTM Launched in 2026, so the track record is short, and volatility has screened high even by single-theme standards. Our read on its risk rests on limited history.
• Small asset base and light trading volume, which tends to mean wider gaps between the buy and sell price than on household-name ETFs.
• The mandate targets capital appreciation and the fund has not been paying regular distributions, so this is a price-return holding.

• WQTM At 0.45%, it prices above the 0.35% median for its cohort, and peers like CQTM and QTUP list less. You pay up for the relevancy-weighted build.
• Launched in October 2025, so there is little history to judge, and the portfolio is non-diversified: about 50 names inside one young, headline-driven theme.wisdomtree.com
• Income policy is annual at most, distributing taxable income and capital gains once a year. This is a theme holding, not a cash-flow one.
