  • Why Investors Prefer Fidelity's ONEQ Over Invesco's QQQ for Broader Nasdaq Exposure
    April 13, 2026, 3:09 PM EDT. Millions of investors pick Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) for Nasdaq exposure despite its narrow focus on the 100 largest non-financial stocks. Fidelity's Nasdaq Composite ETF (ONEQ) offers a broader reach with 600+ stocks, providing deeper access to mid- and smaller-cap companies. ONEQ outperformed QQQ over the past year, returning 36% versus 33%, driven by mid-cap gains. However, QQQ leads over longer horizons, returning 78% over five years and 458% over a decade compared to ONEQ's 65% and 423%. Both ETFs have similar sector mixes dominated by tech but differ in portfolio breadth. Fees are comparable, with ONEQ slightly higher at 0.21% annually against QQQ's 0.18%. The choice depends on investor preference for breadth versus concentration in Nasdaq exposure.
