QGRW

QGRW is designed to target profitability and high-conviction allocations by employing a fundamentally-driven strategy in constructing its strong quality growth portfolio. From an initial universe consisting of the 500 largest companies in the broad US equity market space, the fund ranks all eligible securities according to a composite score based on equally-weighted factors: growth and quality. The former factor is determined using the firm's earnings insight, and trailing 5-year EBITDA and sales growth, while the latter reflects the three-year average return on equity and return on assets. After meeting certain exchange and liquidity requirements, the top 100 companies with the highest composite scores are then selected as index constituents and are market cap-weighted. Individual securities are capped at 15% to ensure diversification. The index is rebalanced on a semi-annual basis in June and December.
