Three ETFs targeting 'quality' stocks differ greatly in holdings and performance.

Three popular ETFs—COWZ, QUAL, and SPHQ—all aim to invest in higher-quality companies but share very few common holdings, with only 12 companies overlapping among them. Their portfolios differ significantly in sector focus and concentration, affecting diversification and risk profiles. COWZ leans towards cash-generating sectors like energy and healthcare, while QUAL and SPHQ focus more on mega-cap tech and payment companies. Performance varies, with COWZ leading in the short term but trailing over five years. Investors should carefully review holdings rather than rely solely on fund names when seeking quality stocks.
