EDHEC-RiskSmart Beta Day Germany 2017 | EDHEC-Risk Institute | 22 June 2017 | Germany, United Kingdom

EDHEC- RiskSmart Beta Day enables participants to gain access to the latest conceptual advances and research results in the SmartBeta investment, and to discuss their implications and applications with researchers who combine expertise in advanced financial techniques with a sound awareness of their industry relevance.
The event is aimed at institutional investors and consultants . The one day conference will include several plenary sessions that enable professionals to review the industry's major challenges and explore advanced investment techniques and benchmark practices for advances in research.
The conference will focus on smart beta indexing, factor investment and smart beta solutions . The best methods for building multifactor indices and for long / short multifactor strategies are presented. For this last topic, the aim is to promote those approaches which offer very strong factors, while at the same time limiting their variation. This integrated approach does not include the traditional practices of long / short factor schemes, often based on poor risk management practices.
The conference will also present research of great interest to asset owners about defensive strategies and smart beta- and low-carbon investments.
