iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF
The iShares Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of US large- and mid-capitalization stocks with quality characteristics as identified through certain fundamental metrics. QUAL selects large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks based on quality factors identified through three fundamental variables: return on equity, earnings variability and debt-to-equity. The Fund holds a diverse collection of stocks with strong balance sheets and stable earnings growth that should deliver better long-term risk-adjusted performance. It is also priced competitively with other single-factor funds that invest in U.S. equities.
