No doubt, the environment<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> has been exceedingly challenging to navigate. Hopefully, there are investment vehicles that have been doing relatively fine even amid this rollercoaster, with the Invesco S&amp;P MidCap Quality ETF (<\/span><span class=\"ticker-hover-wrapper paywall-full-content invisible\">NYSEARCA:XMHQ<\/span><span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">) being one of the examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">In the previous article, when I assigned a Buy rating to XMHQ, I said that:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">\n<p><em>In light of the most recent CPI data that support the view that the economy is past the inflation zenith, I believe exposure to top-quality mid-cap stocks should be considered.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">And even though the abating inflation narrative disappeared in the summer, XMHQ still outperformed the S&amp;P 500 index<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> since the note. As I pointed out in the article,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p><em>XMHQ demonstrated an ability to navigate different market narratives of the previous years, and I believe its factor mix is robust enough to deliver gains going forward.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">To bring a bit more color, although it had a rather soft May, the vehicle nonetheless beat the iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (IVV) every single month from June to September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Today, the following questions should be answered:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>How did the portfolio change in the wake of the June rebalancing?<\/li>\n<li>What were the key drivers of XMHQ&#8217;s outperformance?<\/li>\n<li>How has the factor story evolved?<\/li>\n<li>Does XMHQ still deserve a Buy rating?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Strategy essentials<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Before we delve into the performance and factor intricacies, let us briefly review the fund&#8217;s strategy. To recap, its cornerstone is the S&amp;P MidCap 400 Quality Index. According to the ETF&#8217;s website,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p><em>The Index is a modified market capitalization weighted index that holds approximately 80 securities in the S&amp;P Midcap 400\u00ae Index that have the highest quality scores, which are computed based on a composite of three proprietary factors.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The index&#8217;s webpage clarifies that the said factors are Return on Equity, accruals ratio, and financial leverage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">It is also worth reminding that XMHQ changed its strategy in June 2019 (as its underlying index was replaced, the fund was renamed), so results delivered prior to that are irrelevant. They were ignored in the performance analysis section of the April article and will be ignored today.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Discussing the key contributors to outperformance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">XMHQ&#8217;s underlying index is rebalanced twice a year. Since the previous article, it was rebalanced in June, with the next reshuffle due in December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/49647006-16980690734067528.png\" alt=\"Invesco S&amp;P MidCap Quality ETF performance vs S&amp;P 500 since coverage\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Seeking Alpha<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As I have not been tracking the portfolio between April 11 and October 20, our options to check what holdings contribute most to outperformance are limited. So I decided to analyze how companies that retained their place in the portfolio performed over that period. But first, let us review what names were removed and added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">More specifically, I have found 30 new tickers in the dataset compared to April, accounting for 36.6% of the net assets. The following stocks are currently the heaviest in this group:<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"table-responsive paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span class=\"table-scroll-wrapper\"><span data-intersection-boundary=\"start\"><\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<colgroup>\n<col>\n<col> <\/colgroup>\n<tr>\n<td>Stock<\/td>\n<td>Weight as of October 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Builders FirstSource (BLDR)<\/td>\n<td>3.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Reliance Steel &amp; Aluminum (RS)<\/td>\n<td>2.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Southwestern Energy (SWN)<\/td>\n<td>2.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Carlisle Companies (CSL)<\/td>\n<td>2.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Watsco (WSO)<\/td>\n<td>2.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p> <span data-intersection-boundary=\"end\"><\/span><\/span><button class=\"table-enlarge-button\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" class=\"table-enlarge-icon\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M16 11a5 5 0 0 1-5 5H5a5 5 0 0 1-5-5V5a5 5 0 0 1 5-5h6a5 5 0 0 1 5 5v6zm-4.5-2.5h2v-6h-6v2h4v4zm-9-1h2v4h4v2h-6v-6z\"><\/path><\/svg>Click to enlarge<\/button><\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Data from XMHQ<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In the meantime, 31 companies were removed. Interestingly, Under Armour (UAA), which, despite having a weight of just about 33 bps, grossly contributed to the weighted-average EV\/EBITDA back in April, is no longer in the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Sector exposures shifted a bit due to these adjustments. For example, the weight of industrials rose to 30.3% vs. 26.26% previously, while consumer discretionary lost approximately 3%, even though it retained its second position. The fund still has no footprint in the utilities and real estate sectors. Also, while one communication company was in the previous version, it has been removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/49647006-16980616570519016.png\" alt=\"XMHQ sector allocation screenshot\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Invesco<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">At the end of the day, 48 companies in XMHQ&#8217;s 80-strong portfolio retained their positions.
