REQT closed +1.91% following the recent positive earnings report from tech giants on Wednesday.

What each sleeve addedcontribution to the day
United States +0.67%
International +0.66%
Innovation +0.40%
Canada +0.19%

Innovation had the strongest sleeve return at +2.67% and International was right behind it at +2.63%, but the U.S. sleeve still put up the largest contribution at +0.67% simply on size, since it's 40% of the model. Canada was behind the other regions at +0.93%, still remarkably high. ZCN was up +0.55%, but the two Canadian factor ETFs amplified that return. ZSML, the U.S. small cap allocation, printed +0.00%. It was the only holding that didn't move at all.

On days like this the factor split flips from what we saw earlier in the week. FCMO (U.S. momentum factor) was up +3.21%, but FCUV at +1.20% was still solidly green.

ORBX, the space economy ETF, was the top contributor today, up +4.21%. It's a small position, so it contributed/added +0.13% to REQT.

The REQT model came out ahead of all eight all-in-one ETFs, with HEQT closest at +1.66%. The Innovation sleeve is most of the reason. None of those funds hold global innovators, listed infrastructure or space technology, and that basket returned +2.67% today, which is a wider margin than the rest of the portfolio managed. FINN (the Global Innovation allocation) +2.60% and CIF (Global Infrastructure) +1.96%.

Year to date REQT sits at +16.50% and the trailing year is +27.89%.
