Quant based smallcase worth adding to your watchlist

Came across another smallcase that is free and has a very good track record.

ARQ Prime is a long-only equity portfolio

ARQ Prime recommends stocks for investment based on a set of rules, free from human intervention or human bias. In the world of investing - it is called “Smart Beta”. ARQ Prime adopts the time-tested and proven rules for investing in stocks. ARQ scans all types of stocks to pick Winners: Value stocks, Quality stocks, High Momentum stocks, and Growth stocks across the market cap.

Their CEO talks about this product in an interview for moneycontrol , it does a weekly rebalance so that may put off some of you but is performance has been really good

there is not much info on stock selection criteria most likely it’s proprietary and not open source, but given its performance, it’s most likely based on momentum strategies.

Their website claims that drawdown is smaller compared to markets

Its strong risk management system cuts the losses early and allows profits to be big, thereby maximizing profits and reducing drawdowns/losses

Using the smallcase graph we can verify it managed drawdown better than the index, even the recent dip in 2022. I think as free access this smallcase is worth tracking and I am adding it to my open scorecard
