Factor ETFs
When you want more than just vanilla, we’ve got a variety of factor ETFs that can help enhance your portfolio returns and manage risk.
Why invest in Factor ETFs
Factor ETFs, sometimes referred to as smart beta1 ETFs, specifically target drivers of return to optimize portfolio performance. These ETFs utilize rules-based strategies aimed at outperforming traditional benchmarks or achieving particular investment objectives such as low volatility, quality, dividends, equal weight, and value.
Depending on your financial goals and market outlook, you can tilt your portfolio towards a factor to mitigate market risk, to target excess returns, or achieve both.
