The iShares NASDAQ 100 Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) with the symbol XQQ-T provides Canadian investors exposure to the U.S. tech sector. Despite its popularity, experts highlight that its management fee of 39 basis points is nearly double that of the corresponding U.S. version, QQQ, which charges just 20 basis points. While the growth potential of tech companies remains strong, there is a sense that the market may begin to diversify beyond technology as economic conditions and interest rates improve. The hedged nature of XQQ may not offer the anticipated benefits, especially as the CAD's strength against the USD is not expected to surge significantly. Therefore, while XQQ offers unique advantages, caution is advised regarding tech investments at this stage.

Valuation

Good to get US exposure.

DON'T BUY
QQQ vs. XQQ

NASDAQ is primarily tech companies, and you pay up for that. Growth rate for a lot of those companies is strong. But he sees the market broadening out to other sectors. As the economy and the monetary environment improve, we'll see industrials and financials improve. We might even see some rotation.

The US version of a US-stock ETF will always be cheaper. For QQQ, you're paying 20 bps; XQQ is 39 bps, almost double. XQQ is hedged, which hasn't helped you, might help you going forward but doesn't see CAD having a big push against the USD. He'd prefer QQQ, but be cautious on tech at this point.

BUY

TEC is similar to the NASDAQ as a whole. Market-weighted exposure to some of the biggest technology names like the Magnificent 7. His view on the Big 7 is still positive, still upside in all of them. As long as nothing changes on the underlying thesis, he'd still focus on some of those large-cap tech names. This fund lets you do that. 

XQQ is another name to look at.

BUY
Was a top pick a year ago. Would be the index to buy if you were to hold for the next 100 years. FAANG stocks are 32% of the index. A good index though it might under perform value stocks.
BUY

The NASDAQ effectively came back today. The tech sector gave a sign that it might do okay come Monday. It was way over its 200 day moving average, but it has come back. The indications today show that it might move up.

COMMENT

The volume does not matter that much. It depends on the stocks within the ETF. People seem to prefer the ZQQ-T, but not the XQQ-T. He assumes the ZQQ-T is hedged.
