IVV vs. QQQ - Investing in S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100?

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) are both popular options for investors looking to gain exposure to the US stock market. However, there are some key differences between the two that investors should be aware of before making a decision on which one to invest in.

First, let's take a look at the underlying holdings of each ETF. The #IVV tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index, which is made up of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the US. It’s the most widely used index globally and commonly referred to as “the market”. The QQQ, on the other hand, tracks the performance of the #NASDAQ100 index, which is made up of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the #NASDAQ stock exchange. This means that #QQQ has a heavy bias towards technology companies, while IVV is more diversified across multiple sectors.

Another important difference is the expense ratio. The expense ratio is the annual fee that the #ETF charges to investors. The IVV has a lower expense ratio of 0.03%, while QQQ has a slightly higher expense ratio of 0.20%. While this may not seem like a big difference, over time it can have a significant impact on the overall return of the investment.

In terms of performance, both #ETFs have had strong returns over the past few years. The IVV has returned an average of 13.5% annually over the past 5 years, while QQQ has returned an average of 18% annually over the same period. However, it's important to remember that past performance is not indicative of future results.
