Wermers Files for Quant-Driven Large-Cap Equity ETF

The Wermers Quantitative U.S. Large Cap ETF (WQLC) would invest at least 80% of assets in companies among the 1,000 largest U.S.-listed stocks by market capitalization. Rather than track an index, the actively-managed fund would use a proprietary quantitative process combining valuation, quality, growth, market-participant and alternative-data signals. Its model would reassess signal selection and weighting monthly, typically holding 100–300 securities while managing diversification, liquidity and portfolio risk.
