Description: QLTY GMO U.S. Quality

The GMO U.S. Quality ETF (QLTY) is an actively managed fund that invests primarily in U.S. equities that its adviser considers to be of high quality. The fund is overseen by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (GMO), a Boston-based investment firm founded in 1977 and known for its asset allocation and quality-focused research approach.

Beyond common and preferred stocks, the fund may also hold convertibles, depositary receipts, equity REITs, income trusts, and shares of other equity-focused investment companies. Launched in November 2023 and classified in the Large Blend category, QLTY uses active security selection rather than passive index replication to pursue its quality objective.
