ETF comparison
Verified factor-similar pair
DUHP vs QDF
These US-listed equity ETFs share verified FF6 US factor exposure. The modeled volatility of their factor-return difference is at or below 3% annualized on both the same 36-month window and a longer factor-history check.
CMA
Current similarity score
86
Factor-similar
The score is 100 for identical fitted exposures and 80 at the 3% modeled tracking-error limit. It includes market and non-market factors; it does not indicate which fund earned or is expected to earn more. How to read this score.
Quick Read
- QDF has the higher backtested relative Sharpe (1.086 vs 1.013).
- DUHP has the lower published fee (0.20% vs 0.40%).
- DUHP is cheaper on dividend valuation (139 vs 169, where 100 is each fund's historical median).
- QDF has the stronger regression fit (adjusted R-squared 0.967 vs 0.944).
These are screening signals, not a complete review of portfolio construction, turnover, taxes, or trading quality.

Market beta uses the common 36-month window through 2026-08. Adjusted R² and relative Sharpe describe each fund's separately published full-history model.
Factor Exposure Match
Blue bars compare factor beta magnitude from the same 36 months shown above. Green bars compare absolute t-stat strength; dim bars indicate |t| below 1.96. Every factor enters the distance calculation regardless of its t-statistic.

What Happened Over the Same 36 Months
DUHP adjusted total-return CAGR
17.22%
QDF adjusted total-return CAGR
17.98%
QDF ahead by 0.76 percentage points/year over 2023-09 through 2026-08. This is the observed difference between annualized compounded returns from adjusted prices, not an expected return or a factor-model estimate.
Historical factor attribution
Signed contribution to DUHP minus QDF, percentage points/year, using fitted 36-month exposures and average factor returns over those same months:
Market factor
+0.28
Other factors, combined
+1.51
Total factor-implied difference
+1.79
This arithmetic-average factor attribution excludes the regression intercept and fund-specific return. It therefore need not equal the observed CAGR difference and is not a forecast.

Fitted exposures and factor covariance estimate the volatility, not the average or direction, of the funds' modeled return difference. The common regression window is 2023-09 through 2026-08. A short-window estimate and a longer factor-history check must both be at or below 3.000%; this is a screening limit, not a forecast. Holdings, turnover, taxes and trading costs require a separate review. The Sharpe figures elsewhere on this page come from each fund's published full-history model and do not enter similarity ranking. See the full methodology.
