What are the best performing ETFs over the last 5 years?
MarketWatch spotlights VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT), consistently outperforming the S&P 500 by targeting companies with long-term competitive advantages or "economic moats."
ETF | Assets Under Management | Expense Ratio |
---|---|---|
Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) | $70 billion | 0.10% |
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) | $16.3 billion | 0.35% |

MarketWatch spotlights VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT), consistently outperforming the S&P 500 by targeting companies with long-term competitive advantages or "economic moats."
In January 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for trading in a landmark ruling. The ETFs have been the most successful launch in history, amassing over $10 billion in net inflows since launch.

Should I invest in VOO or QQQ?
First, VOO has a clear advantage in terms of expense ratio. VOO's expense ratio is 0.03% compared to 0.20% of QQQ, which is more than three times cheaper. Next is diversification. While both ETFs are well diversified, VOO is less concentrated in both industry and top 10 holdings.
Key Takeaways
For most ETFs, selling after less than a year is taxed as a short-term capital gain. ETFs held for longer than a year are taxed as long-term gains. If you sell an ETF, and buy the same (or a substantially similar) ETF after less than 30 days, you may be subject to the wash sale rule.
It might be tempting to dabble with exotic or offbeat investments in the short term. But if you're looking to beat the S&P 500 over the long haul, one ETF stands apart: Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). The Invesco QQQ ETF, usually just called QQQ, is a top performer this year.

Experts agree that for most personal investors, a portfolio comprising 5 to 10 ETFs is perfect in terms of diversification.
Here are some examples of 10-year Treasury ETFs: iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF (VGLT) Schwab Long-Term US Treasury ETF (SCHQ)
Generally speaking, fewer than 10 ETFs are likely enough to diversify your portfolio, but this will vary depending on your financial goals, ranging from retirement savings to income generation.
Vanguard S&P 500 ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, VOO is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Blend segment of the market.
