FLQM: Multifactor Is Working In Mid-Caps
FLQM uses a multifactor approach, which could have success in the years ahead. It's outperformed passive mid-cap funds and sets itself apart by trying to cut down on volatility. Overall, the approach makes a lot of sense.

FLQM ETF outperforms the Russell Midcap index with strong returns, modest volatility, and a multifactor approach focusing on quality, value, momentum, and low volatility. The Fund's sector allocation emphasizes consumer discretionary and technology, maintaining lower valuations and higher profitability metrics than the Russell Midcap index.

FLQM: Mid-Cap Multifactor Fund Swaps Growth For Quality
FLQM is a multi-factor mid-cap fund emphasizing quality, value, momentum, and low volatility. Its expense ratio is 0.30% and the ETF has $673 million in assets under management. FLQM's Index assigns a 50% weighting to the quality factor. I've double-checked this using Seeking Alpha Factor Grades and found it's the most profitable mid-cap fund on the market. The tradeoff is weak growth, which ranks #58/67 in its category. However, that can be mitigated with another high-quality, higher growth fund with only 9% overlap with FLQM.
