How do I invest in the quality factor?

Statistical observations show that particularly solid companies with a robust business model have tended to outperform other companies in certain economic periods in the past. This research-based observation is referred to as the quality factor. Usually, the quality factor is measured by a company's debt level and its price-to-book ratio. Sometimes additional measures of company performance are also taken into account.

This factor strategy can also be implemented by means of an index. In this investment guide, you will find all available worldwide quality ETFs. Currently, there are 11 ETFs available.
