Seek an alpha advantage with active factor rotation
BlackRock’s U.S. Equity Factor Rotation ETF (DYNF) actively adjusts exposure to factors as market environments shift.
Scroll over the chart to view the regime-aware characteristics of DYNF and how this ETF has historically navigated challenging markets like the post-pandemic recovery of 2021, rising rates and inflation in 2022, and the market rebound of 2023 with dynamic factor tilts.
There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for funds that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative investment characteristics ("factors"). Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. In such circumstances, a fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.
