Re. QQQM - Thanks for the idea. It looks almost identical to QQQ in performance and total return. Yes, it's slightly cheaper than QQQ, but it's also only 5 years old. I prefer to invest in funds that have been around for at least 10 years. Also, since this is for my wife's HSA account, I want to be a bit more conservative and not experiment with newer fund, esp since I don't own QQQM in my own accounts. My main issue right now is to decide whether to have SCHD in her account or just stick with DGRO or DGRO + DIVO or some other dividend focused fund like VYM. Less decisions, if I just go with three funds: 1. QQQ/FTEC/SMH (25%: pick one based on the desired low to high growth potency and volatility. 2. IVV (50%) foundational Index fund tethered to the market. 3. DGRO (25%): dividend focused. Dividend Fund comparison chart:
