Beyond indexation
With our experience in quant-based strategies, we have since developed a range of solutions to achieve excess return in a consistent and efficient way.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are embedded throughout our investment process to enhance returns, mitigate downside risk and support our role as responsible investors.

Factor-driven approach
We focus on ‘factor premia’ – stock characteristics shown to be persistent drivers of excess return, such as value, quality, momentum and low volatility. Our BETTER Beta range uses factor ’tilts’ to target above-benchmark returns without additional risk. Our SMARTER Beta strategies concentrate factor exposure to maximize risk-adjusted return.
