Global Equities Enhanced Index 

Avoid the pitfalls of passive

Quoniam Enhanced Index is a sophisticated, systematically driven approach designed for investors who demand efficiency, consistency, and long-term value creation.  A solid 10+ year track record demonstrates our ability to offer investors an alternative to pure passive that maintains a tight tracking error while adding persistent alpha. 

Our risk management is dynamic, guarding against unforeseen risks in a way that most traditional backward-looking risk models do not. 

Our approach leads to portfolios that are highly diversified but also higher quality than passive strategies. They are cheaper and generally have a better return on equity and less leverage than typical passive benchmarks. Finally, while a passive approach can only generate below-benchmark returns after fees, our enhanced index strategy is managed to generate persistent benchmark outperformance. 

Three advantages of enhanced index
