Factor investing

Factor investing is an investment approach that aims to generate higher risk-adjusted returns by systematically selecting securities according to proven drivers of returns, known as factors. Common factors include quality, value, momentum and low volatility.

BNP Paribas Asset management has been among the leaders in factor investing since 2009, with a quantitative team of more than 40 professionals and a comprehensive range of solutions spanning different factors, asset classes and regions.  

Why factor investing?

Coupled with the expertise of a skilled and experienced investment manager, this innovative approach can offer a number of benefits:

ENHANCED RETURN POTENTIAL
PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION
REDUCED DOWNSIDE RISK
ESG INTEGRATION
