FYI: Multifactor exchange traded funds are expected to be a future source of growth for the already fast-growing smart beta universe. Data suggest advisors and investors are likely to increase their use of multifactor ETFs in the years ahead. For now, many of the multifactor products on the market are still young, but lack of seasoning should not deter investors. Next year could be significant for some multifactor ETFs when several members of this group will celebrate their three-year anniversaries — one of the milestones that's widely followed among fund investors.
