Description: QUAL MSCI USA Quality Factor January 29, 2026
The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (BATS: QUAL) seeks to track the MSCI USA Quality Index, allocating at least 80% of its assets to the index’s constituent stocks and using up to 20% for futures, options, swaps, cash, and cash equivalents. The underlying index is a market-cap-weighted version of the broader MSCI USA Index, emphasizing companies with high return-on-equity, stable earnings, and low financial leverage.
As of the latest quarterly report (Q4 2025), QUAL carries an expense ratio of 0.15% and manages roughly $12 billion in assets. Its top ten holdings-Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth Group, Procter & Gamble, Visa, Home Depot, Coca-Cola, and Merck-represent about 35% of the portfolio. The fund’s sector tilt leans toward Information Technology (≈30%) and Health Care (≈20%), both of which have benefited from sustained earnings growth and relatively low debt levels. Over the trailing 12 months, QUAL delivered a total return of ~9.3%, outpacing the S&P 500’s 7.8% return, reflecting the premium investors place on high-quality earnings in an environment of modest GDP growth and a flattening yield curve.
