Investors choosing between Invesco QQQ and QQQM face a choice between structure and trading style. QQQ, a unit investment trust from 1999, offers deep liquidity and is ideal for active traders and options strategies but has a higher expense ratio (0.18%) and a cash drag from delayed dividend reinvestment.
