- Pear Tree Quality Fund Institutional (QGIAX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of larger U.S. companies with market capitalizations generally greater than $1 billion at the time of purchase; it employs a unique investment process by periodically selecting and replicating the publicly disclosed holdings of a target mutual fund that focuses on large-cap U.S. equities, typically accessible only to institutional investors, with rebalancing to match the target portfolio's most recent quarterly disclosures. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of approximately 42 holdings, with top allocations to sectors including information technology (around 36.5%), health care (26.5%), and consumer staples (9.8%); key holdings as of recent data include Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Oracle Corp., Meta Platforms Inc., and Alphabet Inc. Class A, representing about 39% of net assets; it also holds select non-U.S. equities from countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Taiwan, comprising roughly 22-25% of the portfolio. Pear Tree Quality Fund Institutional operates within the large blend category, benchmarking against the S&P 500 Index, with a net expense ratio of 0.77%, minimum initial investment of $1 million, and total net assets of approximately $318-332 million. Launched on March 25, 1991, as part of Pear Tree Funds, the fund is managed under the Pear Tree Advisors, Inc. umbrella—a Boston-based manager-of-managers founded in 1985 that oversees approximately $2.9 billion in assets through sub-advisors such as Essex Investment Management and Polaris Capital Management; it is domiciled in the United States and available primarily to institutional investors through platforms like Fidelity and Morningstar-listed channels. In recent developments, the fund has sustained its replication strategy amid market volatility, posting a year-to-date return of 7.27% and one-year return of 9.87% as of mid-2025, with calendar-year performance including 18.50% in 2024 and 29.73% in 2023; net expense ratio waivers remain in effect until July 31, 2025 (or October 31, 2025, for select classes), supporting competitive positioning; portfolio turnover stands low at 23%, reflecting disciplined rebalancing without noted major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes in the past 1-2 years.
