Syfe offers an Equity100 portfolio which includes several tech-related funds like S&P500 and Invesco QQQ. I can’t determine which has a higher upside.

While CSPX is quite well diversified, you may wish to consider diversifying beyond the US to global indices. So if you're considering only between CSPX and Syfe Equity 100, I'll advise to go for the Syfe Equity 100 as it has more global exposure.

Do note that Syfe Equity 100 does have higher fees than your typical index ETFs so an alterantive might be to invest in IWDA and CSPX to diversify further.

To optimize the Equity100 portfolio for better risk-adjusted returns over the long term, we’ve also employed a smart beta strategy that tilts the portfolio towards large-cap, growth and low-volatility factors. Read more details of our multi-factor methodology here.
