Total returns
QQQ has outpaced TQQY over the trailing twelve months, posting a 34.73% total return against 9.87%. Measured from Feb 2025 — when the younger fund began trading — QQQ has compounded at 28.74% a year versus -2.35% for TQQY. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date, split-adjusted, as of June 23, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative; longer windows are annualized. “Since Feb 2025” measures every fund from February 26, 2025 — the youngest fund's first trading day — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the past year. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the past year) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.
