Rising inflation, Fed uncertainty and AI-related risks are rattling markets. Explore these defensive ETFs to help navigate volatility while staying invested for the long term.

COWZ, QUAL, and SPHQ each aim to put you in higher-quality companies, but their portfolios barely recognize each other. Before you stack two of these funds for diversification, you need to see how little ground they actually share.

The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) made its debut on 07/16/2013, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Blend category of the market.

AI's public-image problem and bubble concerns are growing. Here are four defensive ETFs offering quality, diversification and income.

Unsure whether AI is a bubble or a boom? A core-satellite ETF strategy can help investors pursue AI growth without making an all-or-nothing bet.

From strong demand and AI spending to higher oil prices and war costs, multiple forces could keep inflation elevated for longer, putting ETFs in focus.

Gargi Pal Chaudhuri, of BlackRock, recommends investors stay invested in the artificial-intelligence sector but broaden into themes like quality and healthcare.

iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF is a market cap-weighted fund focused on high ROE, earnings stability, and low-debt U.S. stocks. QUAL is heavily weighted toward technology (over 40%), but maintains broad sector and stock diversification with 123 holdings. With a forward P/E of 22.2x, ROE above 30%, and a projected IRR of 11.8%, the fund appears moderately undervalued and offers a strong equity risk premium.
