About this fund
Robeco QI Emerging Markets Active Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks of emerging market companies. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's objective is to consistently achieve a better return than the Benchmark. The fund uses a quantitative stock selection strategy which ranks stocks on their expected future relative performance using multiple factors: value, quality, momentum, analyst revisions and short-term signals. Highly ranked stocks are overweighted against the Benchmark, whereas low-ranked stocks are underweighted, resulting in a well-diversified portfolio.
