Smart beta exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become increasingly popular over the past several years. In fact, BlackRock projects that smart beta ETFs will grow at a 20% annual pace to $1 trillion in assets under management by 2020.
Smart beta exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become a popular way for investors to target specific portfolio outcomes like reduced risk, enhanced returns or higher income at a lower cost than actively managed funds.
With the rise of bonds ETFs investors now have more ways than ever before to improve, as well as damage, their fixed income portfolios.
