There is no easy answer for why one is > than the other.
Instead, I recommend owning a variety of both for your investment goals.
If you& #39;re chasing dividends - VGT has a higher yield
If you& #39;re chasing returns - QQQ has a higher 10-yr return

However, both are not immensely different in the short term.
EX: VGT = 1.22% yield vs. QQQ = .74% yield
EX: VGT = 17.63% return vs. QQQ = 18.09% return

What I want you to take away from this is don& #39;t focus on just one metric.
Instead if you& #39;re looking to invest for the long-term, consider adding both of these to your portfolio.
I& #39;m extremely bullish on both ETF& #39;s and dollar cost average into both bi-weeky.
