AQLT is passively managed to invest in global stocks perceived to be higher quality. The starting universe begins with large- and mid-cap stocks MSCI ACWI Index. Stock selection is based on quality score on individual securities using three fundamental metrics: high return on equity, stable year-over-year earnings growth, and low financial leverage. The fund then assigns weights by multiplying each securitys market-cap weight in the parent index by a tilt score. The tilt score accounts for the securitys quality score and relative market-cap position. Final constituents are then normalized to build the portfolio. Issuers are capped at 5%, along with other countries and sector weights limits. The fund may invest in derivatives or engage in securities lending. The index is reviewed and rebalanced semi-annually.
