The Fidelity Quality Factor ETF (FQAL) was launched on 09/12/2016, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
FQAL is a passively managed vehicle with a strategy revolving around highly profitable U.S. bellwethers. My analysis illustrated that its portfolio has an edge over IVV when it comes to ROA, net income margin, FCF margin, and other quality parameters. Its value and growth characteristics are mostly on par with those of IVV.
