QRG Factor-Enhanced Quantitative Portfolios

The Factor-Enhanced QPs contain a subset of the constituents of a major market index and are designed to provide increased exposure to three key factors prominent asset pricing factors—momentum, value, quality, and low volatility—that historically have provided improved risk-adjusted results over the long term. Each portfolio is available in either a UMA Sleeve or separate account format.

The factors QRG strives to capture have historically performed well on an individual basis. But we believe combining factors in a thoughtful way has the potential for improving a strategy’s risk-adjusted performance. To that end, QRG offers standard multi-factor strategies in two popular combinations of factors. Our VMQ strategies combine the value, momentum and quality factors. Value and momentum are two of the most extensively researched factors, and work well in combination due to their negative correlation. The quality factor has little correlation with the others, and adds a dimension of safety.

In our VQ strategies we strive to capture only the value and quality factors, and exclude momentum. These two factors have little correlation, and constitute a very popular combination among factor investors. QRG also creates customized single-factor and multi-factor strategies upon client request.
