Same Nasdaq 100 ETF

Four ETFs, the same 100 companies, four different prices. The cheapest two are almost empty.

Numbers as of 18 Aug 2026

The two cheapest opened this summer and they are thin: QQQ trades about ten times as many shares a day as QQQM, and a hundred times as many as QNDX. So the real trade is a few dollars a year against how easily you can get out - and, in a taxable account, whatever gain you would realise by switching.

Lower fee, thinner market. Which one is yours?

QQQ - $18 a year per $10,000 QQQM - $15 IQQ - $12 QNDX - $10

Fees are gross: IQQ's is waived to $10 until 31 July 2027. Assets and volumes as at 14 August 2026.
