- iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Factor ETF (EQLT) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Emerging Markets Quality Factor Select Index, which comprises emerging market large- and mid-capitalization stocks exhibiting relatively higher quality characteristics as identified through fundamental metrics such as high profitability, low leverage, and earnings consistency. The ETF provides exposure to high-quality emerging market equities across key sectors including information technology (24.20%), financials (23.41%), consumer discretionary (12.34%), communication services (9.95%), and industrials (7.08%); top holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (5.14%), Tencent Holdings Ltd (4.54%), Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (4.21%), Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (4.20%), and PDD Holdings Inc (2.70%). It offers semi-annual distributions, a net expense ratio of 0.35%, and is listed on the Cboe BZX exchange with approximately 315 holdings and net assets of $8.48 million. Launched on September 4, 2024, and domiciled in the United States, EQLT is managed by BlackRock under the iShares brand with a portfolio management team including Jennifer Hsui, Paul Whitehead, Peter Sietsema, Matt Waldron, and Steven White, the latter three joining in April 2025. The fund targets investors seeking diversified emerging markets exposure with a focus on quality factors to help manage risk and volatility, primarily through non-U.S. stocks (99.14% allocation) across regions such as emerging Asia, developed Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. No major partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic shifts have been reported since inception, reflecting its status as a newly launched passive index-tracking vehicle with stable operational focus.
