Key Differences

CNDX LN Equity

Currency: USD

Expense ratio: 0.33%

Fund Size: USD 5.50B

*Securities Lending: Yes

EQQQ LN Equity

You may also be keen to look into QQQ US Equity (INVESCO QQQ TRUST SERIES 1). It is one of the most popular ETF for Nasdaq with a USD 118.35B fund size that dwarfs the other 2 ETFs mentioned above, with a lower expense ratio too.

Additionally, these are some of the important questions to know before deciding which funds to invest in:

  • How has the NAV (price) been trending since inception?

  • How has the fund been performing quarter on quarter since inception?

  • How has the dividend been trending since inception?

  • How has the fund size been growing?

  • What are your probabilities to make/lose money?

  • What are your average (+) and (-) returns?

  • Is your fund outperforming or underperforming the benchmark? (For Unit Trust)

-INVESCO QQQ TRUST SERIES 1 (QQQ US Equity)_updated_040720

As for which platform is better, I can't comment much as I only use FSM. No harm applying for both and just try them out.
