Scientific Beta

In a webinar to be held on Thursday, 30 April, 2015 exclusively for participants in the United States, Eric Shirbini, Global Product Specialist at ERI Scientific Beta, will provide a better understanding of the potential limits of market cap-weighted indices and how to address them through a robust two-step approach: i) A focus on factors that have historically generated outperformance and are supported by strong economic rationale, and ii) To maximise exposure towards the selected factors through a robust diversification strategy.

The webinar, entitled "Smart Beta 2.0: Bringing Clarity to the Smart Beta Offering" and hosted jointly by ERI Scientific Beta and ETF Securities, will be presented by Eric Shirbini, Global Product Specialist at ERI Scientific Beta on Thursday, 30 April, 2015 at 4.15pm EST.

Market cap-weighted indices are at the cornerstone of passive investments. Interestingly, these indices have not been designed to maximise investment risk/return profiles. This webinar aims to provide a better understanding of the potential limits of market cap-weighted indices and how to address them through a robust two-step approach: i) A focus on factors that have historically generated outperformance and are supported by strong economic rationale, and ii) To maximise exposure towards the selected factors through a robust diversification strategy.

Please note that this webinar is only open to participants based in the United States.
