Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Plenty of investors who know what “smart beta” is aren’t ready to begin using such strategies in their portfolios—mostly because they don’t know what type of smart beta might be most appropriate, according to a recent study conducted by the indexing firm FTSE Russell.
