Event Summary

Smart beta is fast becoming a hot topic for investment managers and everyone. Even Investopedia reported it as the most searched for term in 2015.
However, the key question here is whether this is a fad or an effective alternative for investors to choose from investment options. As more funds jump on the bandwagon to exploit this opportunity, practitioners should ask themselves – how do we navigate this space and are we correctly positioned in this fast-evolving smart beta landscape? They should also gain a better understanding of how firms are differentiating themselves in this growing market and be aware of what investors are seeking.
This session by AmitSinha, Portfolio Manager at Pacific Life, covered the significance, challenges, and opportunities surrounding smart beta investing.
