Factor-based investing: Evaluating exposure



How can investors assess different factor-based products? Joel Dickson, Vanguard’s global head of investment research and development explains that, whether taking a traditional indexing, alternative indexing, or traditional active approach, product and portfolio evaluation essentially comes down to identifying the source of risk and return. He also explains why different indexing constructs ultimately provide exposure to different factors, which can be the underlying driver of returns relative to the market. All investing is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal. © 2015 The Vanguard Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
