Category classification and liquidity

Morningstar places the fund in the Equity World Large Blend category, which covers funds investing primarily in large companies listed around the globe, with the portfolio not defined by a single sector or region and the blend style applied where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate.

Liquidity indicators add a further view. There are 31,264,592 units on issue, and average daily trading volume is 55,428 units. Over the five sessions from 7 to 13 October 2026, daily volume ranged from 24,200 to 43,600 units, with 29,887 recorded on 13 October while the market was still open. The bid-offer range stood at $34.50 to $35.00, and the day range at $34.68 to $34.89. These figures change through the trading day and reflect market activity rather than the fund's holdings.

Recent announcements

The issuer lodged the Units on Issue Disclosure for September 2026 on 6 October and the Annual Report on 25 September. Disclosures for August and July followed on 4 September and 6 August, and Estimated Annual Distribution Component Information on 8 July.

Final Takeaway

QLTY spreads exposure across 150 companies with a low top-ten concentration, but its country and sector mix differs from broad global funds, with an above-category weighting to Japan. The 0.35% fee and 33.79% turnover are part of its profile. These facts are structural and carry no forecast.
