The current market landscape is characterized by significant volatility, primarily driven by:

  • US Presidential Election: Political uncertainty can impact global markets.
  • Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing geopolitical conflicts can lead to market instability.
  • Economic Uncertainty: Economic fluctuations, such as interest rate changes and inflation, can affect investor sentiment.

In response to these challenges, investors are increasingly seeking to diversify their portfolios. Quality factors have gained prominence, as investors prioritize companies with strong fundamentals and sustainable growth.

Free cash flow is a crucial metric that reflects a company’s financial health. It represents the cash remaining after all expenses have been paid and is a key driver of:

  • Dividend payments
