QQQI holders forfeited roughly $11 per share in total return versus QQQ over 31 months, equal to about $2,194 on a $10,000 stake.
Nearly 99% of QQQI's 2025 distributions were return of capital, meaning investors received their own money back, not income, with a shrinking cost basis.
QQQM and JEPQ serve as alternative ways to access the same underlying index.

Every month, a NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:QQQI) holder gets a distribution check. In August 2026, it was $0.6518 per share. The annualized forward rate sits at $7.8216. The check feels like income, but the total-return record tells a different story. Since QQQI's first ex-dividend date, holders have quietly foregone roughly $10.97 per share in total return compared to a matching Nasdaq-100 position that costs a fraction to own.

Every ETF.com fund page follows the same simple pattern: etf.com/[TICKER]. Want the Invesco QQQ Trust? Go to etf.com/QQQ. Want the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF? etf.com/VOO. Each page pulls together the fund's real-time market data, fundamentals, holdings, cost, and **** ysis into one place — so you don't have to hunt across a dozen websites to research a fund. Using QQQ as our example, here's what you'll find.
At the top of every fund page is the live quote — the fund's current price, daily change, and an intraday chart showing how it's moved through the trading day. Alongside it you get the essential trading data: previous close, opening price, volume, the day's range, the 52-week range, and real-time bid/ask prices and sizes. This is the information you need to actually place a trade intelligently — especially the bid/ask spread, which tells you how cheaply you can get in and out.
The Summary Data section gives you the fund's vital statistics in seconds: the issuer (who runs the fund), the inception date (how long it's existed), the expense ratio (what it costs you annually), the AUM (assets under management — a proxy for size and liquidity), the index tracked, the segment, and the fund's legal structure. For QQQ, this is where you'd instantly see it's an Invesco fund tracking the Nasdaq-100. These are the first things any investor should check before buying.
One of the most useful features is the Competing ETFs list. Rather than making you research alternatives on your own, the fund page shows you similar funds side by side — with their AUM and expense ratios — so you can immediately see whether a cheaper or larger competitor exists. On the QQQ page, for example, this is where you'd spot alternatives like QQQM. It turns a single-fund lookup into instant comparison shopping.
Right on the page, the built-in Compare ETFs tool lets you pit the fund against any other ticker — QQQ vs. VOO, QQQ vs. QQQM, whatever you choose — and see the differences in cost, holdings, and performance line by line. It's the fastest way to answer the question every ETF investor eventually asks: "Which of these two should I actually buy?"

VOO and SCHD pair a 0.03% expense ratio with reinvested dividends, creating two separate compounding streams from a single $500 monthly deposit.
QQQM's Nasdaq-100 concentration delivered 104% over five years, making it the growth accelerator best suited for investors with longer time horizons.
It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor)
A $500 monthly contribution sounds modest until it collides with three or four decades of compounding. That is the mechanism behind every millionaire retirement story built on index funds, and it is why the three-ETF combination of Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO), Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD), and Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NASDAQ:QQQM) shows up so often in long-horizon portfolios.
Each fund plays a different role. VOO supplies broad U.S. large-cap exposure at rock-bottom cost. SCHD adds a quality-dividend sleeve that produces reinvestable cash every quarter. QQQM tilts the portfolio toward the mega-cap growth names that have historically produced the highest realized returns among diversified equity baskets. Combining them lets a monthly investor hold a diversified core, an income compounder, and a growth accelerator without stacking overlapping bets.

Growth ETFs are a great way to get exposure to the high return potential of growth stocks while minimizing some of the risks and volatility that tend to come with them. The key, though, is to ensure your growth ETF is set up for sustained success and not riding a temporary wave.
Two growth ETFs you can comfortably hold through thick and thin are the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (NASDAQ: QQQM) and Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG). They have both stood the test of time and are positioned to continue doing so.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
QQQM mirrors the Nasdaq-100 index, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange. It only began trading in October 2020, but we can look at the Nasdaq-100's performance to get an idea of how resilient (and lucrative) it has been.
Since the beginning of 1995, the Nasdaq-100 has averaged 14.4% annual returns, outpacing the S&P 500's 9.2% average in that time. Arguably more impressive is that it has done so despite going through three recessions (those resulting from the dot-com bubble, financial crisis, and COVID-19).

TQQQ's daily reset mechanic delivered just 178% over five years when a true 3x of QQQ's 107% gain should have produced 323%.
QQQ and QQQM offer identical Nasdaq-100 exposure without volatility decay, at expense ratios of 0.20% and 0.15% versus TQQQ's 0.82%.
Don't wait: the ***** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
If you bought ProShares UltraPro QQQ (NASDAQ:TQQQ) expecting a clean 3x version of the Nasdaq-100, look at the last five years. The index proxy Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) returned 107.69%. Triple that is 323%. TQQQ actually returned 177.7%. That gap, roughly 145 percentage points of missing upside on a rising index, is the hidden cost the fact sheet won't frame for you.
Start with the sticker. TQQQ's expense ratio is 0.82%, both gross and net, as of the March 6, 2026 prospectus. On a $10,000 position, that is $82 a year quietly skimmed off the top. QQQ carries a stated 0.20% expense ratio and QQQM runs at 0.15%. On the same $10,000, that is $20 or $15 a year. Compounded over 20 years, the fee difference alone (before returns) is more than $1,200 per $10,000 versus QQQM, without any leverage math attached.
