KBC Equity Fund Enhanced Intelligence Stock Selection invests directly or indirectly in shares and/or share-related investments that may come from any region, sector or theme. The fund"s stock selection is based on quantitative criteria using publicly available information. These criteria are incorporated into a specific model designed by KBC Asset Management that applies advanced quantitative, to analyze a long and broad history of stock-level data. The basic assumption of this model is that share prices are not always an accurate reflection of the fundamental value of the company in question, but that this fundamental value can be estimated provided one has sufficient information and can process this information efficiently. It is also assumed that share prices will evolve towards fundamental value over time. However, the way in which this happens depends on the prevailing cycle in the market structure and its impact on the criteria included in the model. The quantitative model created by KBC Asset Management estimates a relative rating per share on a regular basis, evaluating shares in the investment universe relative to each other. Better-rated shares are assigned a relatively heavier weight in the fund's portfolio relative to their weight in the fund's benchmark, while lower-rated shares are assigned a relatively lighter weight relative to their weight in the benchmark.
