TSX:6201.T 7 February 2026

July 5, 2026, 12:04 PM EDT. The Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ) posted a 19.9% gain for the first half of 2024, beating the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO), which returned 9.5%. QQQ's lead comes from its heavy 67% tech exposure, which includes key AI names. VOO holds about 500 stocks and is nearly 40% tech, spreading out risk more than QQQ. Both funds still face concentration risk and could take a hit if tech stocks slide or the market rotates. VOO works as a core holding for broad U.S. exposure. QQQ is more of a satellite for investors targeting growth and tech. Fund choice should match investor risk and goals, not just track past performance.
