(QUS) SPDR MSCI USA - Ratings and Ratios

The SPDR® MSCI USA StrategicFactors ETF (NYSE ARCA:QUS) is designed for investors seeking exposure to large- and mid-cap U.S. companies through a multifactor approach. This ETF is part of the Large Blend category, aiming to balance value, quality, and low volatility to create a diversified portfolio.

QUS invests at least 80% of its assets in securities from its underlying index, which tracks the performance of companies selected based on three key factors: value, quality, and low volatility. Each factor is equally weighted, combining the MSCI USA Value Weighted Index, the MSCI USA Quality Index, and the MSCI USA Minimum Volatility Index into one composite index.

The value factor targets companies with lower valuations, potentially offering long-term growth. The quality factor focuses on firms with strong financial health, indicated by high returns on equity and stable earnings. The low-volatility factor includes companies with historically steady returns, aiming to reduce portfolio risk during market downturns.

With an AUM of $1.47 billion, QUS offers a cost-effective way to gain exposure to a strategic mix of factors, appealing to investors seeking balanced risk and return in the U.S. equity market. This structure makes it a valuable tool for those looking to enhance portfolio diversification and stability.
