As index designers move away from the traditional method of weighting constituents by their market size, more and more indices are being offered to investors under the guise of "smart beta". But what does this term mean, who is investing in it and why? And how should investors evaluate the many smart beta approaches currently on offer?
Listen to our 60-minute webinar and hear ETF.com, Felix Goltz, Research Director, ERI Scientific Beta at Edhec-Risk Institute, Mark Voermans, Senior Strategist at Dutch pension fund PGGM and Peter Sleep, Senior Equity Portfolio Manager at 7IM explain this important topic.
During the webinar the panelists discussed the risks inherent in existing smart beta strategies and how to manage them, as well as the opportunities for smart beta indexing to grow and how portfolio managers integrate smart beta index strategies.
