By applying BPI GA’s quality strategy and equity screen to a predominantly Brazilian investment universe and running regression analysis using Fama French emerging market factors, it was confirmed that (1) BPI GA's quality investing strategy creates value in emerging markets, (2) the quality premium exists in Brazil, (3) the Brazilian market has a relative lyl ow number of quality companies, (4) BPI GA's quality strategy is sensitive to the size of the investment universe it is applied to and (5) quality equity screens perform markets. Thus, the final recommendation was to apply BPI GA’s quality investing strategy to a large investment universe spanning multiple emerging markets.engFactor investingQuality investingEmerging markets equityBrazilian equity marketAsset managementmaster thesis202997529
