KRX:011780 2 February 2026

July 4, 2026, 11:04 AM EDT. QQQ has posted a 571% return over the past 10 years, beating VOO and its 320% gain as the tech stocks in the Nasdaq-100 surged. QQQ's tilt toward tech and communications means more volatility and bigger swings, especially as rate hikes pressure growth names. VOO charges a much lower fee-about one-seventh of QQQ's-and spreads risk across more sectors, making it the core pick for most. Advisors can have a stake in what they recommend; using a fiduciary can help put your interests first. QQQ might work as a satellite position for investors comfortable with bigger moves, but VOO is still the call for long-term, broad equity exposure.
