ETFS US Quality ETF (BEST) — Review & Analysis
BEST listed on 2 May 2025 and tracks the Solactive United States Quality Cash Flow Index — 100 large US companies selected on free cash flow margins and free cash flow return on invested capital. The portfolio tilts heavily to Information Technology (55.2%), Communication Services (15.6%) and Financials (15.4%), with 0.29% p.a. fees at the low end of the US quality factor cohort. Compare BEST against every other quality and US-equity option on the all ETFs directory.
The closest peer is QUAL (VanEck MSCI World Ex-Australia Quality ETF) at 0.40% p.a., which uses MSCI's Quality methodology blending ROE, earnings stability and low debt. BEST runs a tighter 100-name index using cash flow as the primary screen — a more concentrated growth-quality portfolio that's harder to manipulate than reported earnings. AUM is roughly $18.8 million as at June 2026.
The heavy tech tilt is the main risk — 55% in Info Tech means BEST will fall harder than QUAL or the broader S&P 500 in a tech-led drawdown, and the fund is unhedged for currency. BEST fits as a US-quality satellite alongside diversified core exposure like VGS, BGBL or IVV. Our core portfolio guide shows how a quality satellite fits alongside broad market exposure.
