OUSA was one of the first to launch from OShares Investments. The fund brings a factor-based, high dividend yield approach to the large-cap US equities. Stocks are selected from an index of 500 of the largest publicly-listed US companies weighted by four factors: high quality, low volatility, high dividend yield, and dividend quality. Multiple metrics within each factor are averaged to develop an overall ranking score. Securities are weighted based on a score-modified market-cap, then selecting the top 100 highest-weighted companies. The fund attempts to capture higher yield while mitigating holding risks. OUSA places a 5% cap on each security at each quarterly rebalance and applies a sector weight cap of 22% during annual reconstitution. Prior to June 1, 2020, OUSA was named O'Shares FTSE U.S. Quality Dividend ETF and tracked FTSE USA Qual/Vol/Yield Factor 5% Capped Index. On June 17, 2022, ALPS became the fund advisor, adding the reference to the fund name.
