Our read on QLTI

ETF.net Research

CGMO's quality lens, pointed overseas. Launched in late 2024, it's an actively run international stock fund chasing total return rather than hugging an index, priced right in the middle of its active peer group.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total return.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Genuinely active: the stated goal is total return from international stocks, with no declared index dictating country or sector weights.
  2. 02At 0.60% a year, the fee sits mid-pack for active international equity, so the stock picking doesn't cost a premium over the category norm.
  3. 03Young fund, respectable standing: it already grades in the upper half of its active international cohort.
  4. 04Distributions land quarterly, and the fund gathered real assets quickly for a 2024 launch.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The cohort's top-graded names (AVDE, DFIC, JIRE) run systematic international portfolios for a fraction of this fee, so active picks here have a higher bar to clear.
  2. 02Thinly traded next to the giant international funds, so spreads can widen and order timing matters more.
  3. 03Live history starts in late 2024, so there isn't yet a full market cycle to judge the approach through.
