HCAT QQQJ: The Structure Keeps Handing Its Winners To QQQ
Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF offers exposure to the 101st–200th largest Nasdaq non-financials, targeting mid-cap growth potential. QQQJ recently outperformed QQQ and QQQM, but this is likely a short-term effect from capital rotation out of mega-caps. The fund's structure is flawed: top performers graduate into the Nasdaq-100, causing QQQJ to lose growth winners and retain laggards.

Citing Boston Consulting Group, QBTS says this will amount to $100-$220 billion out of an $800+ billion total quantum market. That sounds like more than a mere "niche." Also, QBTS is going big into the “gate model,” the approach used by the other quantum firms. That will let it compete for the entire quantum market.
