Description: QUAL iShares MSCI USA Quality September 26, 2025

The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (BATS: QUAL) aims to allocate at least 80% of its net assets to the constituent securities of the MSCI USA Index, which is a market-cap-weighted benchmark of U.S. equities. The remaining exposure may be taken through futures, options, swaps, cash, or cash equivalents, providing flexibility to manage tracking error and liquidity.

QUAL is classified as a Large-Blend ETF, meaning it holds a mix of growth and value stocks across the large-cap spectrum, and it is domiciled in the United States.

Key metrics as of the most recent quarter include an expense ratio of 0.15%, a 12-month trailing total return of roughly 8.3%, and a top-10 holdings concentration of about 30%, with a notable tilt toward sectors such as Information Technology (≈ 22%) and Healthcare (≈ 15%). The “quality” tilt is driven by screens for high return on equity, stable earnings growth, and low financial leverage, which historically have outperformed during periods of rising interest rates.
