The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) is being reviewed and compared to the Invesco MSCI USA ETF (PBUS) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). QUAL receives a Hold rating as it is a decent substitute for the SPY ETF, but the differences are too small to justify adding it to a Large-Cap allocation. PBUS, which covers the complete MSCI USA Index, generally invests at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the underlying index.  It also gets a Hold.
