iShares Edge Smart Beta ETFs provide a new and low-cost way to strengthen portfolios by targeting outcomes such as reducing risk or enhancing returns.
The iShares Edge Smart Beta suite of ETFs consist of four multifactor and minimum volatility funds that provide investors with efficient access to factors; a simple way to capture many of the time-tested drivers of return present in actively managed portfolios.
Factors are broad, persistent drivers of return within and across asset classes that can help explain why stocks and bonds behave the way they do.
Factors are well known investment characteristics that are present in all portfolios. Smart beta ETFs capture the power of factors, delivering them in a cost efficient structure, revolutionizing the way investors access these historically rewarded investment ideas.
SEEK TO OUTPERFORM
iShares Edge Multifactor ETFs are available across Australian and global equities. They offer exposure to companies that have the potential to deliver above-market returns over the long term with similar risk and exposure to the broad market.
SEEK TO MANAGE RISK
iShares Edge Minimum Volatility ETFs are available across Australian and global equities. They seek to deliver market-like returns with less risk.
