The GMO International Quality ETF (QLTI) aims to deliver comprehensive returns by investing in top-tier companies located outside the United States. It identifies "high-quality" firms as those possessing a robust operational base and the capacity for sustained future profitability. QLTI's selection methodology integrates both quantitative and qualitative assessments. It evaluates financial health through metrics like profitability and leverage, alongside broader considerations such as prevailing market conditions and future growth opportunities. The fund prioritizes businesses with a history of strong returns on invested capital and adept cash flow management, balancing reinvestment with shareholder distributions. Advanced valuation models, including discounted cash flow (DCF) and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, are applied to pinpoint potentially undervalued securities. While flexible regarding sector and regional allocations, QLTI maintains essential liquidity through holdings in the GMO US Treasury Fund and other money market instruments. This strategic approach enables diversified exposure across both developed and emerging global markets. ### What is the expense ratio of QLTI?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.60% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does QLTI charge its expense ratio?

Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions. The Cost Verdict card above tells you whether QLTI's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to QLTI? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as QLTI (0.60%) but at a lower expense ratio.
