QINT

QINT seeks a diversified portfolio by investing in large- and mid-sized stocks with attractive quality, growth, and valuation fundamentals. It targets global securities, primarily in developed markets, but excludes US firms. Eligible companies are screened and identified using fundamental factors, including profitability, return on assets, return on equity, and gross margin metrics. The index provider then calculates a score for the selected securities, considering growth and value factors. Constituents are also categorized into sub-portfolios based on country and attribute, developed economies growth, developed economies value, and rising economies growth. Then they are weighted according to their growth and value scores. The index usually contains 300-500 securities and is rebalanced monthly and reconstituted quarterly. Prior to Sep. 09, 2022, the fund tracked the Alpha Vee American Century Diversified International Equity Index.
