What is Smart Beta?

A transparent and rules-based style of investing that seeks to capture rewarded investment factors

traditional active management

index investing cannot achieve

Why invest in Smart Beta?

performance

To achieve a desired outcome, such as:

• iShares launched the first two cost-effective Japan-domiciled Smart Beta ETFs in 2015.

• The two Japanese equity smart beta methodologies that have been adjusted to the Japanese clients by excluding REITS from the investment universe and looking at local currency-based

screening.

MSCI Nihonkabu Minimum Volatility

Index (M5NKMV Index)

MSCI Japan High Dividend Yield Index

(M5JPDY Index)

Factor Exposure Minimum Volatility High Dividend

Goal Provides a low volatility exposure on

Japanese stocks (ex-REITS), with

diversification constraints in terms of sector

exposure and market capitalization

Selects high dividend-paying Japanese

companies (excluding REITS), through a method

that emphasizes sustainability and quality of

earnings.

Rationale A minimum volatility strategy with less

expected market risk, and built to outperform

during volatile times, without unwanted

sector or style risk.

Innovative screening focusing on earning quality,

sustainability and persistence of dividend flows.

Methodology focuses on attractive metrics when

growth is weak, but may generate sectorial bias.

Smart Beta expansion – Japan Minimum Volatility Design

11

Minimum Volatility Factor: Importance of the design

› Covariance-based solution: diversification generates better risk-adjusted returns (a “self-fulfilling” methodology)

› Purity of the style compromises “investibility” and generates active tilts, these active tilts may generate unwanted bias

› Size, Sectorial and Liquidity exposure risk: need to limit Country/Style/Sector bias and active weight

discrepancies

› Japanese Minimum Volatility Indices tend to have a positive REITS systematic bias due to low

correlation. As Japanese investors invest in REITS as a stand-alone product, we removed the REITS exposure from the product design.

› Three major types of risks: Currency, Rates and Credit

› Various strategies can generate returns: Fallen Angels, Economic Value, FX Momentum…

› Important to isolate the source of return and prove its consistency

Getting more granular

› Leveraging on Quantitative Analysis Research to find sources of return

› More targeted factor exposures (country-based, sector-based, etc.)

› Important to closely monitor risks (market depth, liquidity, etc.)

Getting more efficient

› Improvement in design (Crowding effect, Information Ratio analysis, Turnover, etc.)

› Framework for allocating between factors (Timing? Correlation?)

› Selecting “good” stocks by combining Factors to reduce market cyclicality (Multi-Factors Approach)
