Individual investors have embraced exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as building blocks in their portfolios. ETFs allow investors to access virtually every segment of the market in a cost-effective fashion (“cheap beta”). Indexing has evolved a great deal over the last several years, from “cheap beta” to “smart beta.” Smart beta represents a range of different strategies, including equal-weight, low volatility, momentum, quality and fundamental, among others. Anthony Davidow will cover different types of smart beta strategies and how to use them in building portfolios.
