QLC ETF

The FlexShares US Quality Large Cap Index Fund ETF focuses on high-quality, large-cap U.S. companies with solid finances, consistent earnings, and strong leadership. Its main investments, such as Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta, make up more than a third of the fund, which raises worries about too much reliance on these stocks. While the heavy investment in the tech sector can lead to growth, it also comes with risks from market changes and regulations, and the fund lacks international diversification.

QLC has a highly sophisticated large-cap stocks-focused strategy based on the trio of factors: quality, value, and momentum. QLC's portfolio has a robust factor mix, with value and quality characteristics being especially notable. Nevertheless, it failed to demonstrate consistent outperformance in the past, with annualized returns delivered being well short of those of IVV and a few peers.
