8. iShares MSCI Quality Factor ETF
Scott Kubie, chief strategist at CLS Investments in Omaha, Neb., expects stock market volatility and a less liquid bond market in 2016. So the firm is betting on large- and mid-cap U.S. stock with positive fundamentals through the iShares MSCI Quality Factor ETF (ticker QUAL).
“High quality firms tend to exhibit lower risk characteristics than most companies and produce sufficient free cash flow to fund much of their internal investment,” Kubie said.
