EDHEC Risk Institute releases major new research on misconceptions in smart beta investing
EDHEC Risk Institute has released a major new research publication on misconceptions in smart beta investing. The research reviews and sheds light on underlying issues.
The ten misconceptions, in three separate areas of smart beta performance and risk, are the following:
Performance drivers
Investability hurdles
Strategy design choices
The objective of the research is to provide perspective on these beliefs by examining conceptual considerations and empirical evidence. The analysis shows that, more often than not, superficially convincing claims about smart beta strategies stand on shaky foundations. Challenging conventional wisdom by reviewing the extant academic literature and empirical evidence would lead to more balanced conclusions and a more nuanced understanding of the benefits and risks of smart beta strategies.
