more substantial mountain containing the

With EQ an organisation can expand its capability.
The broad base of the mountains represents the breadth of EQ

November 2004
First edition of EQinsight published
EQinsight is the newsletter of EQ International.
It contains a collection of research, opinion, ideas and information related to execution,
plus snippets about EQ’s people, products and progress.
The feature article of the first edition titled Fund capacity limited by fund objectives
discusses how having knowledge of your fund capacity is crucial for funds management
planning and very useful when marketing for additional funds. Understanding the key restrictive
factors enables sensible decisions to be made to increase capacity of funds, both individually
and collectively.
The EQ opinion titled A fixed participation rate misses target examines a common
current practice that attempts to limit market impact by setting a fixed participation rate
across all trades. We argue that a more advanced approach is appropriate given current
third-generation impact models and suggest that fixing days volatility is a more
consistent approach.
