Rules over opinions.

Cap-weighted indexes concentrate risk in the largest names. The Filtered 50 does the opposite — systematic selection, equal weighting, durable diversification.

Innovative filtering

17 filters across North American and European equities — quality, valuation, momentum, risk.

Diversified exposure

50 holdings, equal-weighted. No single-name concentration, balanced sector footprint.

Quarterly rebalancing

Systematic, rules-based rebalancing every quarter. No discretionary overrides.

The team

The Filtered Funds is led by three founders with extensive experience in private banking, portfolio management, and responsible investing. Their backgrounds include senior roles in family offices, leading European private banks, and global wealth-management institutions. Collectively, they bring decades of expertise in equity strategy design, UHNW advisory, ethical portfolio screening, and CSR integration.

One founder built a €200M responsible-investment advisory business from scratch, while others have managed complex portfolios for high-net-worth and institutional clients. This blend of institutional discipline, entrepreneurial execution, and quantitative insight forms the foundation of The Filtered Funds' research-driven and transparent investment approach.

An expanding index family.

The Filtered 50 is the foundation. The same systematic methodology extends to a family of regional indices — broadening market coverage while preserving the discipline that drives the flagship.
