Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

PHOXCAura AI Photonics ETF

WQTMAWisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund

In short

PHOX No data

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

PHOX No data

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

PHOX No data

  • 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

PHOX No data

  • 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.
