Our read on XSHQ
BMost quality ETFs shop the S&P 500. XSHQ works the small-cap aisle: start with an index that already requires positive earnings, then keep the roughly 120 names scoring best on profits, accruals and leverage.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Quality Index.
Why people hold it
- Quality is a formula, not a vibe: names ranked on return on equity, accruals ratio and financial leverage, weighted by score times market cap, reset each June and December.invesco.comspglobal.com
- The starting pool is already picky: S&P 600 membership requires positive earnings in the latest quarter and across the trailing four, so chronic money-losers never reach the screen.sec.gov
- Live since 2017, and no other fund in its quality-factor peer group tracks this index. It is the small-cap specialist in a lineup built around blue chips.
- Holdings line up closely with what the label promises, and the fund sits in the upper half of its quality-factor peer group. It pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- At 0.29% it runs about double the big large-cap quality funds (JQUA 0.12%, QUAL 0.15%), though that is right at the median for the wider quality group.
- Trades thinly next to the large-cap quality names, so spreads can widen at the open and close.
- Small caps swing harder than blue chips, and the screen narrows to about 120 names, so one company's stumble carries more weight.
