To create a diverse and liquid portfolio of 350–400 stocks, the fund uses a quantitative strategy to sift through an initial investment universe of approximately 2,500 EM stocks.
Security selection is based on a systematic procedure that takes into account essential qualities such as valuation, momentum, quality, short-term indicators, and analyst research.
In addition to seeking to provide continuous alpha, the Fund aims to counteract macro and style biases and offers investors aspects of both active and passive investing.
Its systematic approach to security selection, along with its widely broad portfolio, allows it to operate with low tracking error.
