Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

QQMGBInvesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF

QQQAInvesco QQQ Trust, Series 1

In short

QQMG The Nasdaq-100 with an ESG filter on top: the same mega-cap growth roster, minus the names that fail the screens. Roughly 90 stocks at 0.20% a year, from the same house that runs the original Nasdaq-100 fund.

QQQ The 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.

Stated mandate

QQMG The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Nasdaq-100 ESG Index.

QQQ The trust is designed to match the pre-expense investment performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index.

Why people hold it

  • QQMG Tracks the Nasdaq-100 ESG Index, so the familiar mega-cap growth lineup stays intact while companies failing the ESG screens are filtered out.
  • 0.20% a year, right at the median for Nasdaq-100 trackers. The ESG screen arrives without an ESG surcharge.
  • Roughly 90 names, and it follows its stated index tightly. On mandate fidelity it stands with the stronger builds in the Nasdaq-100 group.
  • Launched in 2021 by Invesco, the shop behind the original Nasdaq-100 fund, and it distributes quarterly.
  • QQQ 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

  • QQMG Thinly traded next to the group's heavyweights, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads and more care needed on larger orders.
  • Pricier than Invesco's unscreened versions of the same index family: QQQM at 0.15% and QQQ at 0.18%.
  • The screens remove some Nasdaq-100 members, so the holdings and sector mix diverge from the standard index, and results diverge with them.
  • QQQ 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
