Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) includes non-tech giants like Amazon and Tesla, blending consumer and communication sectors with tech, while Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) focuses strictly on technology stocks like NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft. XLK charges a lower fee (0.08% vs. 0.18% for QQQ), which compounds into significant savings over time.
