Foolish take
Invesco QQQ Trust is one of the best known ETFs that tracks the NASDAQ, and for good reason. On a long investing time horizon, QQQ has beat the market every time, with a 1,490% return over 20 years, versus the S&P 500's 600% return. But even its five year return is about 110% versus the S&P's 81%. Because it focuses on tech stocks, it's definitely had some bad years in the shorter term, but the growth of the tech industry tends to balance that out.
As of August 2025, the top holdings in the QQQ include Microsoft (9.6%), Apple (8.9%), Nvidia (8.5%), Amazon (6.4%), and Alphabet (6.8%), all companies that are as much a sure thing as anything can be in this sector. These companies, along with the others in the top 10 holdings, representing over half of the fund, have strong balance sheets, constantly churning pipelines, and huge contracts with long-term business plans. They're established leaders in their segments, with huge and deep moats.
Although this alone is a good reason to invest in QQQ, it's also something to watch with this fund. Because so much of it is concentrated in tech companies and just a handful of them, at that, a downturn in the tech sector can be devastating for QQQ shareholders. Companies like Microsoft are likely to recover, even in the bubbliest of bubbles, it's still important to balance your portfolio with something less tech-oriented.
