IQLT

The iShares MSCI International Quality Factor ETF (IQLT) is a passively managed equity fund that tracks the MSCI World ex USA Sector‑Neutral Quality Index, giving exposure to large‑ and mid‑cap stocks in developed markets outside the United States. Its holdings are weighted toward companies that score high on return‑on‑equity, stable earnings and low debt‑to‑equity, resulting in sector concentrations in financials, industrials, health care, technology and consumer discretionary, with geographic focus on countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, France, Germany and other developed economies. The fund’s quality‑tilt approach makes it suitable for investors who want diversified international equity exposure while emphasizing financially strong firms, often used as a core holding in long‑term, risk‑adjusted portfolios.
