What is Factor-Based Investing?
Factor-based investing is an investment strategy that focuses on capturing returns from underlying factors such as size, value, momentum, and quality of a security. The idea is that these factors have a persistent effect on returns and can be used to build portfolios with enhanced risk-adjusted returns. Factor investing relies on its ability to deliver returns that are uncorrelated with traditional market indices while providing diversification benefits. Additionally, factor investing can help investors achieve specific investment objectives, such as enhancing risk-adjusted returns or tilting portfolios towards a desired factor exposure.
By incorporating factors into your investment strategy, you can achieve higher risk-adjusted returns and build a more diversified investment portfolio. However, just like most investment strategies, Factor investing is only ideal for some people and won't necessarily work in your portfolio.
Why You Need to Find Your Investment Personality
One of the main drivers of investment success is finding your investment personality. This involves understanding your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment style. If you invest in something you're not comfortable with, you won't have the level of comfort it takes to get through difficulties in a down market.
To find your investment personality, start by assessing your goals and evaluating your risk tolerance. You should also consider your investment style, reflect on past experiences, and seek the advice of a financial advisor before making huge decisions. Your personality will ultimately help you make informed investment decisions that allow you to weather the storm during a down year.
