Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, have long had the reputation of being relatively more stable investment opportunities. These funds aim to mirror the performance of a basket of equities or a specific index, which offers broad market exposure while reducing the risk associated with individual stocks. One of the ETFs that has been on the radar of investors lately is Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ).
QQQ tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index, which represents the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. QQQ is best known for providing investors with exposure to companies at the forefront of innovation across various sectors, including technology, healthcare and communication services. Over the past year, QQQ has gained 45% and led all inflows in late January. Late January marked a 1.4% gain in assets, and assets under management now stand at around $246 billion.

TARK gives you daily leveraged exposure to companies that are pioneers in disruptive technologies like next-gen internet, electric vehicles, genomics and fintech.
These industries are growing at rapid paces and making big splashes. For example, fintech revenues are projected to grow sixfold and reach $1.5 trillion by 2030. Similarly, worldwide adoption of electric vehicles is fostering a steady annual growth rate within the industry. The global genomics market is expected to reach $83.1 billion by 2028. For…
