In this environment, one fund worth considering is QLV (FlexShares US Quality Low Volatility Index Fund), which provides exposure to quality US companies with lower volatility characteristics. Screening for quality — including such characteristics as management efficiency, profitability and cash flow — makes this fund attractive as a defensive strategy for investors who want to access market growth while limiting downside risk.

The new job numbers will likely impact Fed actions on interest rates. In this environment, one fund worth considering is RAVI (FlexShares Ultra-Short Income Fund), which may be a good fit for investors interested in liquid assets that provide higher returns than money market funds. Ultra-short term investment products like RAVI that do not need to maintain a constant net asset value are not constrained by the rules that govern money market funds. This allows them to invest in a wider range of security types that offer a potential yield premium. RAVI may fill the gap between money market funds and short-term bonds for investors seeking liquidity to meet short-term investing needs.
