GQQQ actively invests in US companies believed to have growth potential in addition to showing quality characteristics. These companies are assessed to have higher than sector average return on equity, return on assets, and return on invested capital, as well as higher price/earnings, sales, or earnings growth. Selection starts with an investment universe of mid- to large-cap firms from the US that must satisfy liquidity and growth criteria. Proprietary quantitative screens are further implemented to rank the securities based on their quality and growth metrics to identify the top 75 to 100 stocks for inclusion. Since the fund is actively managed, investment decisions are at the discretion of the sub-adviser including overweighting and underweighting sectors to maintain diversification. All stocks are monitored on a daily basis with the quantitative screens reviewed quarterly.
