Global Equities Enhanced

Avoid the pitfalls of passive

Quoniam Enhanced 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. 

The 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 strategy is managed to generate persistent benchmark outperformance. 

Global Equities Enhanced: Finding the sweet spot between passive and active investing. Mark Frielinghaus and Rocío Muñiz from the Equity Portfolio Management team explain how enhanced investing works, what potential this approach offers, and what investors should keep in mind when implementing it.
