Investment considerations and contact
Stock-market investment involves risk. Review the underlying index, exact measurement period, currency, fees and fund documents before making a decision. Historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Tax and insurance planning

Follow-up and contact
Use reliable sources and consult an appropriate professional if you need advice for a specific decision.
Data limitation: The figures above are the source article’s claims, not independently verified performance data. In particular, “138% per year” for QQQ needs clarification about whether it means a total or annualized return, the dates, currency and calculation method.
