QTUM has risen 54.20% year to date and 98.72% over the past year, lifting assets under management to $6.02 billion as investors pour into quantum-computing exposure.
The fund tracks the BlueStar Machine Learning and Quantum Computing Index and mixes pure-play names such as IonQ, D-Wave and Rigetti with larger tech holdings including IBM, Alphabet and Intel.
IBM’s 156-qubit Heron chip and Alphabet’s 105-qubit Willow processor have helped fuel optimism by showing quantum systems tackling problems beyond current supercomputers’ practical reach.
QTUM still sits well below major AI-focused ETFs in scale—iShares U.S. Technology ETF has about $25 billion and Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF about $21 billion—highlighting both the sector’s momentum and its early-stage risk.
