C. Description of Advisory Services
We offer institutional investors a selection of equity strategies with a global scope. The firm offers
Long-Only equity portfolios encompassing U.S., Global, and Emerging Market equities.
Clients can mandate reasonable restrictions on the securities purchased for their account provided
that the client provides IQI, in writing, with the necessary information to apply the restriction and
understands the performance implications of such constraints. The precise offering vis-à-vis
investment benchmark can be tailored to a client’s needs. Our Long-Only portfolios will be paired
with a benchmark consistent with the Client’s investment objective and investment style, which may
include benchmarks from well-established benchmark providers such as Standard & Poor’s, MSCI, or
Russell Investments. In the Long-Only portfolio, we seek to outperform target equity benchmarks.
IQI employs a systematic investment strategy that utilizes quantitative methods applied to public
equities. Our process integrates a series of proprietary investment signals that utilize quantitative
research on corporate fundamental, macroeconomic, and global integration trend data to identify
investment opportunities and a disciplined and risk-reward based portfolio optimization. We
integrate thematic risk management, including but not limited to geopolitical risk, macroeconomic
risk, and secular market shift risk in conjunction with transaction costs in portfolio implementation.
An investment management agreement (“IMA”) will detail guidelines for account management. IQI
will be authorized to supervise and direct the investment and reinvestment of the assets in the
account subject to limitations and guidelines in the IMA. The IMA may from time to time be amended
through agreement of both IQI and the Client.
IQI, when it deems appropriate and without prior consultation with Client, may: (a) buy, sell,
exchange, convert and otherwise invest or trade in any stocks, bonds, units and other securities, all
liquid and publicly traded, including money market instruments, whether the issuer is organized in
the United States or outside the United States, at such times and in such manner as IQI determines;
(b) place orders for the execution of such securities transactions with a broker who has been reviewed
for business continuity and
best execution; (c) execute any documentation as IQI may deem necessary
to facilitate any such investment or reinvestment. IQI may give a copy of this Agreement to any broker,
dealer or other party to a transaction, as evidence of its authority to act on the Account’s behalf.
IQI is not authorized to accept delivery of cash or securities for the Account or to establish or maintain
custodial arrangements for the Account. IQI will work with the Client to choose a custodian (the
“Custodian”) to hold physical custody of the Account. Client shall direct the Custodian to segregate
the assets in the Account and to invest and reinvest them in accordance with the directions
transmitted by IQI and received by the Custodian. Such directions shall be given in writing or given
orally and confirmed in writing promptly thereafter. Client shall not change the Custodian without
giving IQI reasonable advance written notice of its intention to do so, together with the name and
other relevant information with respect to the new Custodian. IQI shall not be liable for any act or
omission of the Custodian unless it was pursuant to the Advisor’s instructions to the third party.
Client shall always have the right to modify the Guidelines or to give Advisor instructions
(“Instructions”) to buy, sell or retain any investment, but no modification of the Guidelines and no
Instructions or modifications of Instructions shall be binding upon Advisor unless Advisor has received
written notice of them from an Authorized Person (as defined in Section 5(d)). Advisor shall have a
reasonable period to bring the Account into compliance with any changes to the Guidelines. Advisor
shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any
written Guidelines or Instruction given and, unless and until specifically advised otherwise, Advisor
may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements contained
therein. The Guidelines and all Instructions, unless they expressly provide otherwise, shall continue
to be effective until duly canceled by subsequent modifications duly communicated to Advisor in
writing.
IQI will collect information on the suitability of investments. The Adviser is responsible for collecting
and documenting information from each client that forms the basis of and supports all
recommendations. Investment advisers must collect suitability information at the onset of the client
relationship and attempt to update this information annually.
Further model details, tax-related risk considerations, and certain material risks are discussed in
Part 8.
IQI does not participate in wrap-fee programs.
D. Clients and Products
Institutional clients and qualified high net worth individuals may currently invest via separately
managed accounts (SMAs). The following information will be obtained from clients, where
appropriate: the client's age, other investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment
objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and any
other information the client may disclose to the investment adviser in connection with such
recommendation or investment advice.
Client information will be shared with unaffiliated third parties only if clients choose to “opt-in” the
sharing of the information, per 950 MASS. CODE REGS. 12.205(9)(c)(13).
On an annual basis, the investment adviser will make a reasonable effort to confirm or update the
written information about each investment advisory client. Please refer to Item 7 for a discussion of
the types of institutional clients for which we serve as an investment adviser.
Separate Accounts
i. A separate account is a client-specific portfolio individually managed according to one of our
offered equity investment strategies. Separate account clients grant us discretionary
authority to manage and invest client assets allocated to the account, subject to the clients’
stated investment objectives and investment guidelines. Each separate account is subject to
the terms of an investment management agreement or other similar agreement between
the relevant client and us. Please refer to Item 16 for more information regarding our
investment discretion over client accounts.
