QQQ US ETF, USD: 30% WHT, 0.6% yield/ 0.2% TER

EQQU Ireland physical replicated QQQ, USD. 0% WHT, 0.4% yield/ 0.3% TER

I know it's not about dividend yield since this is high growth tech heavy focus. Just wondering if theres any point at all buying EQQU instead of QQQ directly.

Which to pick? Or any other alternatives for US tech?

Thx

Because it can be bought with 0.00 USD trading fees on TD Ameritrade possibly QQQ would pay out, a different topic (see link) is U.S. estate tax.

For the Ireland ones there is 15% U.S. withholding tax.

If you want exposure to growth tech stocks try to look into ARKK.

They have majority holdings in tesla.

Higher risk than QQQ.

I would suggest you go for QQQ as QQQ holds the big cap stocks like apple amazon microsoft so on.

You can go to morningstar and see the holdings of any mutual fund there!

They will tell you how many percentage the fund is holding a particular stock for.

Above just my opinion. im not a financial advisor
