Factor Investing & Smart Beta: Theory vs Reality | ETF Trends

Click here to listen to the webinar

Smart beta assets continue to grow and have almost reached $1 trillion, which is fueled by investors hoping for outperformance or risk reduction, occasionally also for both. But is there truly a reduction in risk relative to major indices by using factors? And, are the enhanced returns from smart choices, or from a compounded reduction in fees?

Join this webinar to hear about:

  • What is behind the trend to allocate more assets to Smart Beta
  • Why multi-factor strategies growing in popularity
  • Why smart beta returns are likely substantially different to those from factor investing literature
