Multifactor

At WisdomTree, our Modern Alpha^® strategies are designed to combine the outperformance potential of active with the benefits of a rules-based approach. And today, no discussion of outperformance can be complete without factors (certain equity attributes that may be associated with higher returns). While there are many ways to gain individual exposure to value, size, quality, momentum and low volatility, we believe multifactor strategies can be powerful tools that provide numerous advantages to all investors.

A New Breed of Active

In the search for alpha, the closer to “beta” a strategy is, the less outperformance potential it can provide. And alternatively, the more “active” a strategy is, the greater the risks an investor accepts. But we believe there is something that can combine the benefits of both.

Potentially lower risks and volatility than traditional active managers
Alpha potential across different market environments and different regions through diversified factors
The potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns through a rules-based process
All the advantages of the ETF structure

Our innovative multifactor approach:

risk-adjusted returns
Blends fundamental factors such as value and quality with technical indicators such as momentum and low correlation to create a systematic, proprietary stock selection and weighting model
Leverages a currency management overlay can help enhance return potential and lower volatility in international markets
Seek to balance the risks of factor imbalance, sector and country bets and stock selection inherent in active mandates
