Corey Hoffstein: Questions QQQ approach to exchange-listed company selection

Corey Hoffstein: Questions QQQ approach to exchange-listed company selection
QQQ portfolio selection method questioned

Corey Hoffstein questions the logic behind QQQ as a product, specifically asking why investors buy a fund composed of companies merely because they are listed on a particular exchange, excluding financials.

He further inquires what specific exposure buyers are seeking when investing in QQQ, prompting discussion about the fund's composition and investor intentions.

Hoffstein has previously cited research indicating that high active share funds have delivered negative alpha since 2009, as reported in a past article. He also explained the straightforward process for getting options listed on ETFs and announced the launch of options trading for select funds in another update. These earlier notes add context to his ongoing commentary on fund strategies and product structures.
