Description: QLC FlexShares US Quality Large October 24, 2025

The FlexShares US Quality Large-Cap Index Fund (BATS: QLC) tracks an index that emphasizes companies with stronger **quality, value, and momentum** characteristics relative to the broader U.S. large-cap market. In practice, the ETF aims to allocate at least 80 % of its net assets (excluding securities-lending collateral) to the constituent securities of that index.

Key data points (as of Q3 2025): the fund carries an expense ratio of 0.15 % and manages roughly $1.3 billion in assets. Its top holdings are dominated by high-quality mega-caps such as **Apple (AAPL)**, **Microsoft (MSFT)**, and **Alphabet (GOOGL)**, which together account for about 15 % of the portfolio. The fund’s sector tilt leans toward **technology (≈35 %)** and **consumer discretionary (≈20 %)**, sectors that historically benefit from robust earnings growth and low leverage-core components of the quality factor.

Given the current environment of modest-to-rising interest rates, investors often favor quality-oriented large caps because their stronger balance sheets and stable cash flows can better withstand tighter financing conditions.
