VALQ tracks an index of US stocks that are undervalued or have sustainable income. The portfolio construction starts by screening the S-Network US Equity Large/Mid-Cap 1000 Index constituents based on quality factors, including profitability, return-on-assets, return-on-equity, leverage, and momentum. The index then scores securities based on valuation metrics such as earnings and cash flow yields. Lastly, an income screen based on dividend yield is applied. The final portfolio of typically 200-300 securities is optimized using quantitative models to provide an optimal balance between risk and expected return. The index is rebalanced monthly and reconstituted quarterly. On May 31, 2023, the fund and index names dropped the reference to STOXX.
