The FlexShares US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund ETF (QLV) combines quality and low volatility factors with a portfolio featuring high quality and a value tilt. Despite its defensive characteristics, QLV's low beta and lack of growth-at-a-reasonable-price (GARP) traits suggest it may underperform the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) in 2026 and beyond.
