Our read on QINT
BMost international factor funds bolt a tilt onto a standard benchmark. QINT does the subtraction first: strip out the lower-quality names, then build roughly 400 developed-market stocks around quality, growth and value.
The fund tracks the American Century Quality Diversified International Equity Index. Its index methodology seeks international core exposure by excluding lower-quality stocks and selecting companies with attractive quality, growth and value characteristics.
Why people hold it
- Three screens, one ticker. The index excludes lower-quality companies, then selects on quality, growth and value across roughly 400 developed-market stocks outside the US.res.americancentury.com
- It does what the label says. The portfolio has tracked its stated index very closely, with no drift into holdings outside the mandate.
- Live since 2018 and paying quarterly, it is well past the fragile first years that end a lot of niche factor funds.
Worth knowing
- At 0.40% a year, it sits above several multifactor rivals in the same lane, including INTF at 0.16% and FDEV at 0.18%.
- Developed markets only. Emerging markets sit outside the mandate, so this is not a one-stop international sleeve.res.americancentury.com
- It trades thinner than the category's biggest names, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the headline fee suggests.
