- FlexShares Quality Dividend Index Fund (QDF) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Northern Trust Quality Dividend Index, a high-quality income-oriented portfolio of long-only U.S. equity securities emphasizing long-term capital growth and a targeted overall beta similar to that of the Northern Trust 1250 Index. The fund tracks an index of companies selected based on expected dividend payments and fundamental factors including profitability, solid management, and reliable cash flow; top holdings include Apple Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Broadcom Inc., and Meta Platforms, Inc., with approximately 139 holdings across sectors such as technology, consumer defensive, industrials, and healthcare. Launched on December 14, 2012, QDF is issued by FlexShares Trust, sponsored and managed by Northern Trust Investments, Inc., and headquartered at 50 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois. The fund operates primarily in the U.S. market, targeting investors seeking quality dividend exposure with sustainable yields, moderate volatility (beta of 0.94), and a trailing twelve-month dividend yield of approximately 1.76%, paid quarterly. In a notable recent development, on June 30, 2023, QDF acquired the assets and liabilities of the FlexShares Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund (QDYN), incorporating approximately $16.79 million in assets to enhance its portfolio; additionally, FlexShares announced plans in 2024 to rebrand as Northern Trust ETFs effective 2026, with no impact to current investors or fund operations.
