Overview
The QMIT Equity Market Neutral Index (QUMN) seeks to track the performance of QMIT’s EMN (Equity Market Neutral) hedge fund model. The model creates market neutral long/short portfolios based on a universe of the largest approximately 2,500 US + dually listed Canadian stocks + ADRs. The underlying long and short portfolios leverage multi-factor alpha signals employing 18 ESBs (Enhanced Smart Betas) which are distilled from hundreds of factors via Machine Learning Ensemble Methods. The index is rebalanced daily and reconstituted weekly.
