Davi has spoken on VettaFi webcasts and at the Exchange conference as an ETF strategist. He answered some of my questions. VettaFi:  Astoria launched a new quality growth ETF recently. What makes it unique relative to established growth ETFs?   Davi: GQQQ combines growth investing with a quality overlay. We find that there are few products available that do both, and none approach it exactly like GQQQ. GQQQ aims to participate in growth while mitigating volatility and targeting higher risk-adjusted returns by selecting growth companies that exhibit robust quality characteristics such as those with attractive ROE, ROA, and ROIC. The fund aims to deliver higher risk-adjusted growth-like returns over long periods of time.  We strive to provide more downside protection compared to other growth products which don’t have a quality overlay. In the case of the Nasdaq 100, which is one of the most popular growth indices, there are very few criteria to be included into the index. The 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange are included in the index. In the case of the S&P indices, they have several criteria but one of the key ones is that they require companies to have four quarters of net positive earnings, which essentially is a quality filter. In short, we want to provide investors with growth exposure by investing in higher-quality stocks.
