Description of Advisory Services
Qtron specializes in process-driven, systematic investment management through a structured investment process by
employing quantitative methods and analysis. This includes mathematical strategies that rely on fundamental insights
and patterns in data in evaluating prospective investments. Qtron generally invests in equity securities listed on
exchanges in developed and emerging markets.
Qtron is focused on quantitative, bottom-up stock selection. This involves identifying opportunities across companies in
different sectors and regions/countries through the use of proprietary models and systems. The core of Qtron’s principal
investment model is Fundamental Boosting, a scientific hypothesis-driven statistical approach that incorporates
fundamental investment thinking into factor research and seeks to optimize the factor weights of quantitative models
crafted unique to each type of security.
Qtron’s uses various systematic tools to aid in the implementation of its strategies, such as Qtron’s data collection
systems, proprietary portfolio optimization software, and various internal and external trading tools and systems.
Qtron provides advisory services on a discretionary basis to private investment funds, separately managed accounts, and
sub-advisory clients including investment companies and pension plans.

Separately
Managed Accounts, Sub-Advisory Clients, and Pooled Investment Funds
Prospective clients may, depending on their desired investment strategy, generally choose to have a separately managed
account/sub-advisory relationship or invest through pooled investment funds for which Qtron is the investment adviser.
Each is more fully described below:
Separately Managed Accounts & Sub-Advisory Clients (collectively, “SMA” or “SMA Clients”). A separately managed account
is a client-specific portfolio managed individually according to one or more of Qtron’s investment strategies. Similarly,
certain clients, including other investment managers or advisers to investment companies, may select Qtron to manage a
portion of their portfolios (“sub-advisory”). Such clients typically grant Qtron discretionary authority to manage and
invest client assets allocated to the account, subject to the client's stated investment objectives and guidelines, which may
include, but not be limited to, the imposition of restrictions or other limitations on specific securities, instrument types,
or portfolio exposure for given client accounts. Each account is subject to the terms of an investment management
agreement or other similar agreement between Qtron and the client. Please refer to Item 16 for more information
regarding investment discretion over client accounts.
Pooled Investment Funds. Qtron is the investment adviser to two pooled investment funds, the Qtron Stock Booster Equity
Fund LP and the Qtron Stock Booster Equity Long-Short Fund LP (referred to as the “Stock Booster Equity Funds” or “the
Funds”). Each of the Funds is managed according to its specific investment strategy and designed to take into
consideration the domicile and certain tax and/or regulatory characteristics of the limited partners. The Funds are
exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Currently, the only investors in the Funds are the
principals of Qtron and the Funds are currently not available for investment to external investors.
