Smart-Beta ETFs Are Hot For Teachers Amid Race To Get Smarter

Ted

FYI: An unlikely superstar is emerging in the battle for ETF supremacy: the professor.

Over the last six months, the $3.6 trillion U.S. exchange-traded fund industry has plucked several prominent academics out of the classroom and put them on the corporate payroll. OppenheimerFunds Inc. has appointed a brain trust to help generate and validate ideas for new products. Research Affiliates, a strategy and index creator, hired a Duke University scholar as a partner and senior adviser. And one college professor on the outskirts of Boston even started his own fund.
