FLEXSHARES QUALITY DIVIDEND

FlexShares Quality Dividend (QDEF) is an exchange-traded fund that targets dividend-paying companies selected using ‘quality’ criteria. The fund typically favours firms with steady profitability, healthy balance sheets and consistent dividend histories, aiming to combine income with lower downside risk than broad dividend indexes. It may offer diversified exposure across sectors and market caps depending on its rules-based methodology. Investors should review the fund’s prospectus for details on holdings, dividend yield, tracking approach and the expense ratio. As with all ETFs, market prices can move away from net asset value and past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
