QUAL: Everything You Need To Know About The Quality Factor ETF
The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF largely reflects the S&P 500's performance, offering only minor deviations via quality screens on ROE, leverage, and earnings volatility. QUAL's sector and top holdings composition largely mirrors SPY, with slightly different weights due to its quality filter but similar market risk and drawdown profile. Despite its quantamental approach, QUAL does not deliver pure quality factor exposure; its performance is essentially market-driven, not isolated from broad equity trends.
