QQXT: A Costly Ex-Tech Nasdaq 100 ETF That Misses The Mark

2025-03-06 10:00:00 ET

Summary

• QQXT is composed of the 56 non-Technology stocks in the Nasdaq-100. Its expense ratio is 0.60%, and given the volatile nature of tech stocks, it has downside risk management appeal.
• However, SPXT, a lower-cost competitor with more attractive growth and value metrics and better historical returns, is the superior choice. The newly launched XMAG is another possible option.
• Still, I don't think avoiding tech stocks is the answer to reducing risk. There are many high quality, low P/E, and low beta funds available that do well in downturns.
• This article encourages readers to understand the features of ETFs that contribute to its safety, and once you've done that, I hope you'll agree QQXT is not optimal and not necessary.
