Technology and Nasdaq ETFs to compare with the Kurv Technology Titans Select ETF.
Data updated August 2026 · 12 ETFs
Who this page is for
Best for
- KQQQ holders comparing similar funds, fees, payouts, and strategy design
- Technology investors comparing concentrated selection with broader Nasdaq funds
- Investors who will compare total return and NAV trend alongside distribution rate
Not a fit for
- Investors seeking broad-market diversification or low sector concentration
- Anyone treating a current distribution rate as guaranteed future income
- Investors choosing from headline yield alone without reviewing the underlying exposure
Analysis
KQQQ selects a concentrated group of technology leaders rather than replicating the Nasdaq-100. QQQ and QQQM provide broad Nasdaq benchmarks, QTEC and QQEW reduce megacap weight concentration, and GPIQ, JEPQ, and QQQI add income overlays that cap some upside. Compare holdings overlap, concentration, methodology, valuation, fees, distributions, and total return rather than assuming every technology fund carries the same risks.

How these alternatives are selected
- Universe: a hand-curated peer set, split into close peers (3 here — same core exposure and same income mechanism, so a like-for-like swap) and broader substitutes (a different index, underlying asset, or income mechanism). Every fund is labelled in the Strategy fit column; KQQQ itself is excluded.
- Eligibility: active ETFs only — liquidated, delisted, and renamed funds drop out automatically. Leveraged and inverse products are never listed: a daily-reset 2x or -1x fund is not an alternative to a long income position.
- Ranking: assets under management, a size-and-liquidity proxy. Never ranked by yield — yields are shown as data, not used to order the list.
- Fit: how each fund's strategy differs from KQQQ — and who each one suits — is covered in the strategy notes and FAQ below.

Yield distribution
Expense ratio distribution
Income projection
Estimated income if the current average distribution rate of 3.43% held for a full year with share prices unchanged. Distribution rate is not total return—a fund can pay a large distribution while its share price falls—so treat these as an upper-bound illustration, not a forecast.
