QSG® is a leading provider of independent global equity research, advanced trading analytics, and investment consulting services. We apply a systematic evaluation process to a variety of fundamental, technical, high-frequency and sector-specific signals. QSG employs a talented staff of analysts who are solely committed to the research and development of new sources of excess returns. QSG does not manage assets or offer execution services, allowing us to provide clients with unbiased, objective research. The active equity managers, hedge funds and traders who leverage our research are focused on new idea generation, enhanced investment performance and lowering trading costs.
Equal-Librium: Stabilization in the performance of quality signals suggests that investors are looking for more than low prices. November’s performance seems to signal a collective sigh of relief, equalizing the signal performance across our global factor library since the March lows. Quality, both management and asset, was rewarded adding to an increased sense of well-being, suggesting that we may soon be off the low price/liquidity juice.
Factor Analyst® puts the performance data on more than 300 stock selection signals at your fingertips. Our powerful web-based analytics platform ranks the performance characteristics of these stock selection signals across a broad array of US and global universes. Our global universe coverage includes developed, emerging and frontier markets. Subscribers to Factor Analyst receive access to QSG's valuable monthly research reports, which introduce new stock selection signals and investigate thematic investment issues. Here is a sample of recent research titles.
QSG's stock selection models combine the granularity of fundamental research and the rigor of systematic evaluation techniques.

QSG's models cover the full "anomaly" spectrum, including Earnings Momentum, Deep Value, Relative Value, Price Momentum, and Historical Growth. Successful models, leveraging specialty data driven signals, are produced for a variety of industries and sectors including REITs, Banks, Insurance, and Retail.
QSG Edge™ helps fundamental equity managers side-step avoidable torpedos and stay aware of the stocks that are at the top of the list for QSG's most popular fundamental ranking models. This easy-to-use tool monitors a portfolio of up to 200 securities to identify the significant ranking changes that can provide an important wake-up call. Click on any name in the tool and you will see which fundamental signal is responsible for the rank change. Once you set up your watchlist, a daily email will alert you to the changes that matter.
