Invesco QQQ Trust vs iShares Russell 2000 ETF: Growth Strategies Compared – News and Statistics

May 9, 2026
The Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF are two widely followed funds that offer contrasting strategies for growth-oriented investors, according to a recent analysis.
Both funds share nearly identical expense ratios, making them cost-efficient options. However, the iShares fund provides a dividend yield that is more than double that of the Invesco fund. Over the trailing twelve months, the iShares fund had a total return of 47.32%, while the Invesco fund returned 45.22%.
The Invesco fund is heavily concentrated in the technology sector, which accounts for approximately 54% of its assets. It holds just 102 stocks, with its top three holdings representing nearly 21% of the portfolio. Its largest positions include Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. Launched in 1999, the fund paid $2.81 per share over the trailing twelve months and has $440.3 billion in assets under management.
In contrast, the iShares fund offers broad exposure to the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market, holding nearly 2,000 stocks. Its sector allocation is well distributed, with industrials as the top sector at roughly 20% of assets, followed by technology and healthcare. Its largest holdings include Bloom Energy, Credo Technology Group, and Sterling Infrastructure. The fund was launched in 2000 and has a trailing-twelve-month dividend of $2.54 per share. Its assets under management stand at $76.9 billion.
When comparing risk, both funds have experienced similar maximum drawdowns over the past five years. The Invesco fund had a max drawdown of -35.12%, while the iShares fund saw a -31.91% decline. A $1,000 investment in the Invesco fund five years ago would have grown to $2,163, compared to $1,370 for the iShares fund. The iShares fund exhibits a higher five-year monthly beta of 1.30 versus 1.18 for the Invesco fund.
The analysis suggests that the Invesco fund may appeal to investors seeking high exposure to large-cap technology stocks, while the iShares fund offers broader diversification across smaller companies. Despite their different approaches, both carry above-average risk, with small-cap stocks generally more volatile and tech stocks often hit hard during downturns.
