A-Best for Tech Exposure

The 0.20% expense ratio is higher than VOO/IVV but reflects a specialized index. QQQ returned approximately 18.4% annualized over the 10 years ending 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 by about 5 percentage points annually — with significantly higher volatility (fell 33% in 2022).
