Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Funds investment objective is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation while limiting exposure to general stock market risk.
The fund uses a quantitative model to select long positions in stocks predicted to outperform and short positions predicted to underperform, drawn from the Russell 3000 Index, seeking to neutralize market volatility through balanced long and short exposure. Because performance depends on the net result of both long and short positions, the fund can experience losses even if individual selections are sound. The fund's market-neutral approach aims for returns independent of overall market direction.
| Share class | Expense ratio |
|---|---|
| QQMNX | 2.11% |
| QAMNX | 2.36% |
Portfolio turnover 62.00% · as of 2026 Q1
Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Stocks | 19.91% |
| Cash & short-term | 5.51% |
These positions come to 25.41% of net assets. Not everything a fund owns is reported as a holding — uninvested cash is collected at fund level instead — so the total is not expected to reach 100%.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Information Technology | 20.1% |
| Financials | 15.8% |
| Health Care | 14.3% |
| Industrials | 12.8% |
| 9 smaller | 36.9% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +3.65% | +34.00% | — | 4.59% | -2.74% | |
| +3.41% | +33.04% | — | 4.58% | -2.78% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.96pp spread over 3 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.32pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
