As 2026 looms, it is prudent to inspect one’s portfolio with the scrutiny of a man checking his pockets before a revolution. While strategies vary like the weather, one maneuver stands out: the art of not panicking when the market behaves like a capricious lover.
Both of these funds are the heavyweights of the ETF arena-liquid, large, and, dare I say, quite popular among investors. IVV is the steady hand, giving you access to a wide swath of the U.S. economy, while QQQ is like that friend who’s always talking about the latest gadget, focused on the hottest technology stocks. Here’s how they stack up in terms of costs, performance, risk, and what’s inside their respective portfolios.
And it doesn’t stop there. They reckon people will be shuffling around nearly half a trillion dollars worth of ‘tokenized assets’, which sounds suspiciously like turning perfectly good things into digital gewgaws. Meanwhile, something called ‘confidential DeFi’ (sounds like a spy agency for your finances 🕵️♀️) will be worth over ten billion. All this as the grown-ups – i.e., the people with the serious money – start poking around in the crypto world.
This little discrepancy – the public pronouncements versus the internal panic – is, shall we say, interesting. It’s the sort of thing one observes during the twilight of a particularly bloated cycle. It smells faintly of desperation and scented candles.

With mirth and merriment, these “Pioneers” may now bestow their Pi upon hapless online retailers or flail it at local stalls, all while basking in reductions grander than the reductions in a Parisian tailor’s shop. Bravo, to this modern renaissance of folly!
FXStreet reckons 2026 is more of a wobbly waltz than a clean break. 🕺
According to the parchment filed with the Watchful Eye of Ankh-Morpork2, our protagonists increased their AESI holdings during the quarter ending September 30, 2025. The position now glows with a valuation of $8,253,631, which the fund’s scribes describe as “normal trading activity.” This phrase, much like “weather patterns are interesting,” typically means “we’re either geniuses or doomed, but let’s see what the quants say.”
This new position, now 2.2462% of Resolution’s 13F reportable assets, is less a strategy than a submission. The top five holdings-WELL, DLR, EQIX, VTR, EXR-loom like statues in a corridor, their percentages etched in cold numbers. As of November 13, 2025, HR shares traded at $18.08, a 9.91% ascent over a year, yet still lagging the S&P 500 by 2.48 percentage points.
