Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

NQLTDNeuberger Quality Select ETF

QLTYAGMO US Quality ETF

In short

NQLT No data

QLTY Most quality ETFs run a rules screen. QLTY hands the job to GMO's stock pickers, who buy US companies they judge high quality and chase plain total return. Active conviction, priced like it: 0.50% a year.

Stated mandate

NQLT No data

QLTY The Fund seeks total return. It is actively managed and invests primarily in equities of U.S. companies that GMO believes are high quality.

Why people hold it

NQLT No data

  • QLTY Actively managed, not index-tracking. GMO's team chooses the US companies it considers high quality, under a straightforward total-return mandate instead of a published factor formula.
  • GMO's read on quality leans toward wide moats and free cash flow, so the lineup can look meaningfully different from the index-built quality funds it sits beside.
  • Opened in 2023 and already a multi-billion-dollar fund with moderate daily trading and a quarterly distribution schedule.
  • The filings match the label: a standard 1940-Act fund holding US equities, screened on quality, no derivative wrapper or offshore complexity.

Worth knowing

NQLT No data

  • QLTY The 0.50% fee runs above the typical quality-cohort charge, and index-built rivals undercut it hard: QUAL at 0.15%, JQUA at 0.12%.
  • No index to fall back on. Everything rides on GMO's stock selection, and the ETF's own record only starts in 2023.
  • Mostly on that fee, it sits in the lower half of its US quality peer group even though it does the job its documents describe.
