Eric Shirbini, Global Product Specialist at ERI Scientific Beta, will be participating in a live complimentary webinar organised by ETF.com on 25 June, 2015 at 2.00pm EST on the theme "A Scientific Approach to Smart Beta".

Smart-beta ETFs seek superior returns, often tilting a portfolio’s exposure to a specific factor or characteristic that has historically outperformed the broad market. This often requires taking on more risk relative to the broad market. The webinar, moderated by Olly Ludwig, Managing Editor of ETF.com, will explain why taking an approach founded in academic research can help to identify these factors and potentially capture the outperformance, all while managing associated risks.

Participating in the webinar alongside Eric Shirbini, will be Jay Jacobs, Vice President, Research Analyst at Global X Funds.
