Why factor investing
Factor investing is an investment approach that involves tilting portfolios towards and/or away from specific factors, such as quality or value, in an attempt to generate long-term investment returns in excess of benchmarks. In addition to enhanced return potential, factor investing can offer robust risk controls that can help keep a portfolio in line with investors’ preferred risk exposure, as well as diversification from more traditional investments.
