3 claims · each scored for market impact
Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) was reclassified from a unit investment trust to an open-end ETF effective December 22, 2025. — The change removes historical structural handicaps like cash drag and enables the reinvestment of dividends and use of futures, improving fund efficiency.
