Investors can consider diversifying their investments across factors based on individual preferences, since performance of various factors changes across different market environments, HDFC AMC said.
What is smart beta investing?
Smart Beta investing involves stock selection and weighting based on factors, rather than size, as defined in the underlying index methodology by NSE Indices Limited (NIFTY 50). These investment strategies endeavour to provide better risk-adjusted returns than broad market cap weighted indices.
The indices underlying the additional Smart Beta ETFs - HDFC NIFTY200 Momentum 30 ETF & HDFC NIFTY100 Low Volatility 30 ETF – have generated higher long-term returns than the NIFTY 200 TRI and the NIFTY 100 TRI, respectively. Both have generated higher average rolling returns over 1, 3, 5 and 10 year horizons compared to the NIFTY 200, 100 and 50 TRI, according to HDFC AMC.
Commenting on this, Navneet Munot, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, HDFC Asset Management Co. Ltd. said, “Smart Beta investing is popular globally with AUM rising steadily. Smart Beta ETFs offer one-shot diversification of portfolio at a low cost, and is proven tool for investors who seek returns over the long-term."
