Our flagship strategies
We believe that over shorter time-horizons, investor behaviour rather than company fundamentals is the main driver of company share price returns. We think this is best captured by an approach that uses artificial intelligence to process a wide range of higher frequency data. However, reversion to company fundamentals occurs over longer horizons, which is this time captured using traditional factors.
We therefore have two investment engines that operate their approaches accordingly: Quest AI-Driven, which is monthly rebalanced, offering an enhanced index return profile; and Quest Sustainable, which has a wider tracking error target to focus on longer term company fundamentals and deliver a through cycle quality/defensive exposure. Both solutions aim to offer clients long term exposure to global equities.
