QGRO holds a broad portfolio of US stocks with attractive growth and quality fundamentals. The portfolio construction starts by screening the S-Network US Equity Large/Mid-Cap 1000 Index constituents based on profitability, return-on-assets, return-on-equity, leverage, and momentum. A growth score is then calculated for each of the remaining stocks, by taking into account sales, earnings and cash flow growth, and analysis of price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. The portfolio of typically 150250 stocks is weighted according to this growth score. The index is rebalanced monthly and reconstituted quarterly. On May 31, 2023, the fund and index names dropped the reference to STOXX.
