About this ETF
The GMO International Quality ETF (QLTI) aims to deliver comprehensive returns by investing in top-tier companies located outside the United States. It identifies "high-quality" firms as those possessing a robust operational base and the capacity for sustained future profitability. QLTI's selection methodology integrates both quantitative and qualitative assessments. It evaluates financial health through metrics like profitability and leverage, alongside broader considerations such as prevailing market conditions and future growth opportunities. The fund prioritizes businesses with a history of strong returns on invested capital and adept cash flow management, balancing reinvestment with shareholder distributions. Advanced valuation models, including discounted cash flow (DCF) and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, are applied to pinpoint potentially undervalued securities. While flexible regarding sector and regional allocations, QLTI maintains essential liquidity through holdings in the GMO US Treasury Fund and other money market instruments. This strategic approach enables diversified exposure across both developed and emerging global markets.
