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: As factor-based investing becomes a bigger part of the product universe, it's worth taking a few moments to understand how quant managers and index providers go about achieving factor exposure. Having these insights can help you understand that different providers do it differently which, in turn, can help you give clients better advice related to implementing factor strategies.
