The ETFseeks to track the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree US Multifactor Index and has a net expense ratio of 0.30%.<\/p>\n

With the availability of an ever-greater amount of smart beta strategies, investors today can access individual factors associated with historical market-beating performance at fairly low cost. However, while it is now much easier to pick and choose factor exposures, it hasn\u2019t gotten any easier to know which factor might perform strongly ahead of time. The true benefit of multi-factor strategies lies in diversifying factor exposures so that the risk of being in the worst-performing factor at the worst time is mitigated, thereby ensuring exposure across all of the factors at all times.<\/p>\n

Christopher Gannatti, WisdomTree Head of Research in Europe said, <\/strong>\u201cDiversification is about minimising the risk of severe underperformance over a given time period. Many investors in US equities have watched the outperformance of momentum-focused strategies in the past few years.  Instead of requiring them to decide if they want to chase this strategy or try to select the next factor poised for outperformance, WisdomTree\u2019s multi-factor approach ensures some exposure to momentum while also diversifying across other factors which may outperform in the coming periods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the WisdomTree US Multifactor Index, each constituent is screened across all factors on a quarterly basis, helping to ensure that the strategy\u2019s factor diversification is maintained. For those clients who don\u2019t believe that they can add value by timing factors and don\u2019t want to risk being overweight in the wrong factor at the wrong time, this provides a potential solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rafi Aviav, WisdomTree Head of Product Development in Europe, said,<\/strong> \u201cWhile there is room for multi-factor strategies that offer a near-market experience and try to keep a very low tracking error with respect to their benchmark, USMF takes a different approach. It packages a high active share portfolio with significant factor exposures that are well balanced across the leading equity risk factors. Our high active share is achieved despite the strategy\u2019s sector-neutrality, which ensures excess returns are consistently and purely driven by the strategy\u2019s stock selection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, the factor exposures are pronounced and well-balanced across the leading risk factors, as opposed to many offerings which overload on value or momentum or have faint exposures across all factors. This all combines to makes the strategy\u2019s added value potent, transparent and fee-efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe USMF offers a much-needed, refreshing take on multifactor investing in today\u2019s market, and we believe that investors will find this approach appealing,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
