Fund overview

Fund snapshot

• Offers an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, investing in 100 of the largest nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange.
• Closely mirrors the performance of the underlying index.
• Targets investors seeking diversified exposure to large-cap growth equities, particularly in the technology and consumer sectors.

Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF offers investors efficient access to a basket of leading nonfinancial companies listed on Nasdaq. The fund’s strategy is to replicate the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index.

Foolish take

The ETF is a slightly different version of the well-known Invesco QQQ (QQQ 0.36%). The two funds track the same Nasdaq-100 market index, both are managed by Invesco (IVZ 0.89%), and their performance typically will be nearly identical.

One difference is that the QQQM comes with a 0.15% annual expense ratio, just below the 0.20% fees for the QQQ fund. In most other respects, these funds are functionally identical ways to invest in the same idea -- that the Nasdaq-100 index should deliver superior returns.

But they are still slightly different. The QQQ is seen as a better tool for short-term trading, thanks to its unmatched liquidity and much longer operating history. QQQM investors enjoy a lower expense ratio and a more tax-efficient fund structure. Therefore, it is a little bit more suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors.

Since Signal Advisors is growing its QQQM portfolio in 2025, the firm is betting on continued strength in the volatile tech sector. It's also a rather large increase, boosting Signal's QQQM exposure by 27% in a 3-month reporting period. I'm not sharing that optimistic view amid the unpredictable macroeconomic conditions of July 2025, but time will tell who's right.
