The top growth stocks in one fund
The Invesco QQQ Trust is one of the world's best ETFs. It ranks in the top 1% of large-cap growth funds by 15-year total return and is the second-most traded ETF in the world.
Buying one share of this world-class ETF gives you exposure to the Nasdaq-100, an index that tracks 100 of the largest non-financial stocks on the Nasdaq stock exchange. So, one share buys you a piece of 100 top-flight companies, with a heavier concentration in the largest ones. Here's a quick look at its five largest holdings and how much of your roughly $710 investment would get allocated into each one:
- Nvidia: 8.4% of the fund ($59.64).
- Apple: 7.4.% ($52.54)
- Microsoft: 5.7% ($40.47).
- Micron Technologies: 4.7% ($33.37).
- Amazon: 4.6% ($32.66).
Investing your $750 in this fund is a smart move because it eliminates single-stock risk without sacrificing much potential return. This ETF has delivered more than 1,600% since its launch in 1999, crushing the S&P 500's return of less than 860%. From another perspective, if you had invested $750 in the fund at its launch, it would now be worth over $10,450.
It has significant growth potential ahead. All five of its top holdings are leaders in AI, which has helped drive the fund's recent returns and should continue to power future returns. According to a McKinsey estimate, global capital spending on data centers alone will reach nearly $7 trillion by 2030. That spending should drive robust growth for Nvidia and Micron during the near-term build-out, and eventually accelerate growth for tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.
It currently costs less than $750 to buy a share of QQQ, which gives you stakes in all the fastest-growing tech stocks. The fund's broad exposure to the AI megatrend makes it such a smart long-term investment. It has the potential to grow that rather small investment into a much bigger future payday.
