Quality Control in Investment Selection
The BetaShares Australian Quality ETF (AQLT) incorporates rigorous quality control in its stock selection process. To qualify for inclusion in the portfolio, companies must achieve high scores in three essential metrics: return on equity, low debt levels, and earnings stability. This focus enables AQLT to maintain a collection of high-quality Australian companies that offer both core exposure and an added quality tilt for investors. Such a strategy not only helps in building a resilient portfolio but also ensures better long-term returns.
