No one can predict the future with total certainty.
But, when it comes to investing, you can significantly improve your odds of long-term success via Factors of return.
Not all stocks (or bonds) are created equal. Certain characteristics--or factors--have been identified by extensive academic research as offering the potential for:
1)Higher returns over time
2) Reduced risk
So what is a factor of return?
Just as a great athlete’s success depends on the right skills such as agility, persistence, strength, flexibility, speed …portfolio returns depend largely on the right factors such as Small, Value, Momentum, etc.
At Symmetry, our Evidence-Based investment approach draws on decades of data, analysis and insights from some of the best minds in finance and academic (including 12 Nobel Laureates) to identify, what we believe are, the most effective factors for investors to include in their portfolios.
Watch the 3:30 minute animated video below to learn how factors of return can provide a solid foundation for what we believe to be a better, long-term, investment experience.
