On 5 February, 2015, Amundi ETF was the recipient of the Innovation Award (Equity category) in the first annual ETF Awards organised by L'Agefi, a leading French financial magazine, for its Global Equity Multi Smart Allocation Scientific Beta Ucits ETF. The latter replicates the ERI Scientific Beta Developed Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy ERC Index which represents the performance of large and medium capitalisation companies from developed economies. It aims to outperform the capitalisation-weighted reference index by combining four factors (Value, Mid-Cap, Momentum and Low Volatility) with five smart beta diversification strategies. L'Agefi Hebdo stated that the jury had appreciated the choice of an index stemming from academic research, which is "a guarantee of scientific rigour and independence".
