QQXT is composed of the 56 non-Technology stocks in the Nasdaq-100. Its expense ratio is 0.60%, and given the volatile nature of tech stocks, it has downside risk management appeal. However, SPXT, a lower-cost competitor with more attractive growth and value metrics and better historical returns, is the superior choice. The newly launched XMAG is another possible option. Still, I don't think avoiding tech stocks is the answer to reducing risk. There are many high quality, low P/E, and low beta funds available that do well in downturns.
