6 Meridian Expands ETF Lineup With Launch of New Quality Growth Strategy (“SXQG”)

SXQG is an active strategy designed to offer exposure to stocks exhibiting higher growth metrics based on a proprietary quant screening approach

6 Meridian, a well-established registered investment advisor, today announced the expansion of their product lineup with the launch of their newest equity ETF, the 6 Meridian Quality Growth ETF (SXQG), an actively managed strategy to help investors capture exposure to those companies exhibiting strong growth characteristics.

“It’s been an incredible year for growth names, but not all growth is created equal and not all growth provides the quality investors deserve over the long term,” said Andrew Mies, CIO with 6 Meridian. “We believe the screening of companies through various metrics like high profitability, low leverage and low liquidity, is essential for identifying the opportunities for capital appreciation. We’re thrilled to be launching SXQG, which takes a carefully screened, quant-driven approach, resulting in a portfolio of the top 100 names have demonstrated high quality and growth relative to their peers.”

SXQG’s portfolio is constructed using a quantitatively driven methodology designed to emphasize high quality securities. The selection process begins with companies in the broad U.S. equity market. From this initial universe, micro-cap companies (i.e., companies with a market capitalization of less than $500 million) are excluded. Quality is defined as high and improving profitability; low leverage and low default probability; and low net equity and debt issuance relative to dividends and net buybacks. Securities are first ranked on a composite of several quality-focused variables intended to measure profitability, growth, and ability to service financing obligations. The fund rebalances twice a year.

“We’ve designed our product lineup with our clients in mind, as we aim to provide them and the market thoughtful, disciplined strategies that fit their investing goals,” added Mies. “We’re excited to be launching SXQG on the anniversary of our first ETF suite launch in 2020, showing our continued dedication to providing our approach in cost and tax efficient solutions via the ETF wrapper.”
