QQQ Delivers Triple‑Digit 3‑Year Returns in New Tech ETF Comparisons

Recent analyses highlight low costs alongside concentrated tech exposure that can magnify volatility.

Overview

  • The Invesco QQQ Trust tracks the Nasdaq‑100 and charges a 0.2% expense ratio.
  • QQQ is up 123% over three years versus 75% for the S&P 500, and over the past decade it gained 453% compared with 370% for Fidelity’s broader ONEQ, while both advanced 15.6% in the past year.
  • The fund is heavily skewed to technology at nearly two‑thirds of assets, with its top 10 holdings around 55% of the portfolio, a structure that can lead to sharper swings.
  • Peer funds also posted big gains, with Vanguard’s VGT rising 133% over three years and Schwab’s SCHG among ETFs that more than doubled in that span.
  • Coverage positions QQQ as a straightforward way to access megacap tech and the AI trend, with some commentators suggesting dollar‑cost averaging for investors comfortable with higher risk.
