MSCI EAFE Quality Index

The MSCI EAFE Quality Index is based on MSCI EAFE Index, its parent index, which includes large and mid cap stocks across Developed Market (DM) countries excluding the US and Canada. The index aims to capture the performance of quality growth stocks by identifying stocks with high quality scores based on three main fundamental variables: high return on equity (ROE), stable year-over-year earnings growth and low financial leverage.
