iShares MSCI USA Quality Dividend Advanced UCITS ETF

What this fund is

iShares MSCI USA Quality Dividend Advanced UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker QDIA (ISIN IE000D6810F1). In a single purchase you get a diversified basket of holdings rather than a stake in just one business. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the MSCI USA index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include NVIDIA CORP, APPLE INC and APPLIED MATERIAL INC. Spread across roughly 101 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 33.4%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

By geography it is weighted towards ~100% United States. By industry it concentrates most in ~40.7% Technology and ~14% Health Care. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.35% a year — about €35 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash.

It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 13.9% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2025. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
