Investors are on course to pull the most money out of technology-focused exchange-traded funds since May last year. More than $1.5 billion has exited so far in October.

The $138 billion Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1changed its rules last week to state that the fund’s expiration date will now be tied to the “maturity, redemption, sale or other disposition” of its last security.
