FYI: Factor-based strategies give investors the opportunity to gain more targeted exposure to desired factors in their portfolios and to fine-tune them over time. Not only have the excess returns of international factors held pace with those in the U.S., but many of the market dynamics and investor behaviors that help explain why factors have enhanced portfolios over time also hold true in international markets.
