Some investors use ETFs to gain exposure to broad ranges of companies rather than picking individual stocks, which reduces single-stock risk. For example, Invesco QQQ provides diversified exposure to many innovative companies, including leaders in software, hardware, e-commerce, social media, biotechnology, and other areas.
Typically, yes. ETFs are generally more tax efficient than comparable mutual funds because the “in-kind” creation and redemption feature of ETFs is designed to reduce cash transactions and capital gains distributions. As a result, investors tend to keep more of their returns.
Invesco does not provide tax advice. Federal and state tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Investors should always consult their own legal or tax advisor for information concerning their individual situation.
The decision to include ETFs in your portfolio will vary by your unique goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Investors can help diversify their portfolio with a handful of broad-based ETFs for various asset classes.
The market price of an ETF share is determined by the net asset value (NAV) of the underlying portfolio as well as supply and demand in the marketplace. Bid-ask spreads and premiums and discounts to NAV may also impact the price an investor pays for an ETF share.

Bid/ask spread is the amount by which the ask price exceeds the bid price for an asset in the market.
ETFs can be actively or passively managed, and the choice depends on an investor’s financial objectives. Some financial professionals use a mix of active and passive ETFs in diversified client portfolios.

ETFs are different from individual stocks in that an ETF’s liquidity is based on more than trading volume alone. A better predictor of an ETF’s liquidity may be the liquidity of the underlying holdings. For example, an ETF with relatively low trading volume that invests in highly liquid large-cap U.S. stocks will generally have high liquidity and low bid-ask spreads.
QQQ is one of the most heavily traded ETFs by volume.

ETFs are popular because they typically give investors access to broad market exposure with low fees, tax efficiency, and transparency. ETFs can be actively or passively managed and can be bought and sold like an individual stock.

ETF is short for “exchange-traded fund.” ETFs are baskets of securities that can be bought or sold on exchanges similar to individual stocks. ETFs can provide exposure to broad areas of the market in a single, bundled investment. They are often passively managed and typically seek to track the performance of an index, such as the Nasdaq-100.
Yes. Invesco QQQ is a passively managed ETF that tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, which contains some of the world’s most innovative companies.

ETFs are similar to mutual funds in that they both can provide exposure to broad areas of the market in a single investment. However, while mutual funds are priced once a day at the market close, ETFs can be bought and sold like individual stocks throughout the day.
Compared to mutual funds, ETFs tend to have better tax efficiency and more transparency, as well as lower fees on average.
Investors should be aware of the material differences between mutual funds and ETFs. ETFs generally have lower expenses than actively managed mutual funds due to their different management styles. Most ETFs are passively managed and are structured to track an index, whereas many mutual funds are actively managed and thus have higher management fees. Unlike ETFs, actively managed mutual funds have the ability react to market changes and the potential to outperform a stated benchmark. Since ordinary brokerage commissions apply for each ETF buy and sell transaction, frequent trading activity may increase the cost of ETFs. ETFs can be traded throughout the day, whereas mutual funds are traded only once a day. While extreme market conditions could result in illiquidity for ETFs. Typically, they are still more liquid than most traditional mutual funds because they trade on exchanges. Investors should talk with their financial professional regarding their situation before investing.

Open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are considered a single population for comparison purposes. Ratings are calculated for funds with at least a three year history. The overall rating is derived from a weighted average of three-, five- and 10-year rating metrics, as applicable, excluding sales charges and including fees and expenses. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed currently or in the past, the Morningstar rating would have been lower.
