Scientific Beta

This webinar, taking place on Monday, 28 September, 2015 at 3pm CET and presented by Eric Shirbini, Global Product Specialist at ERI Scientific Beta, will show how performance reporting of smart beta strategies can be enhanced through a measurement of robustness.

The Robustness of Smart Beta Strategies webinar will take place on Monday, 28 September, 2015 at 3pm Central European Time (9am Eastern Standard Time).

While investors consider robustness a crucial feature of smart beta strategies in equity investing, index providers typically offer little - if any - measurable insight on this issue. ERI Scientific Beta has developed a range of analytics to measure robustness, and tools to improve the robustness of smart beta strategies.

The webinar will show how performance reporting of smart beta strategies can be enhanced through a measurement of robustness, including the frequency of over- and under-performance, conditional performance analysis, and performance attribution methods, and will address the following questions:

• Why has the robustness of Smart Beta strategies become such an important topic?
• What is Robustness of Smart Beta Performance?
• What are the main kinds of risk to look out for that would cause a smart beta strategy not to be robust?
• What steps can be taken to avoid problems with robustness and how has Scientific Beta incorporated these steps in the design of its indices?

The webinar, hosted by Eric Shirbini, Global Product Specialist at ERI Scientific Beta, will also present a range of analytics to measure robustness which have been developed by ERI Scientific Beta.
