Factor crowding, monkey arguments, cheaper alpha, rebalancing effect and many others - Live press webinar on July 1 at 3:30pm CET
During a special 20-minute webinar for the press taking place on , Felix Goltz, Head of Applied Research, EDHEC-Risk Institute and Research Director, ERI Scientific Beta, will be presenting major new research from EDHEC-Risk Institute on misconceptions in smart beta investing.
The research reviews and sheds light on underlying issues. The misconceptions relate to the sources of outperformance of smart beta; the investability hurdles for smart beta strategies; and specific smart beta index design choices.
As one of the strongest growth areas in investment management over the past decade, smart beta strategies have drawn criticism from providers of both traditional active investment and traditional passive investment. Smart beta providers are not only responding to such criticism, but have been vocal about the benefits of their respective approaches, without necessarily agreeing with each other.
Such debates have the potential to clarify the issues at hand by discussing the facts. Unfortunately, however, by often recurring to superficially convincing arguments that may not align well with the facts, such debates have also led to the misconceptions in question.
Topics that will be covered during the webinar include:
