Join the Financial Times and J.P. Morgan Asset Management at this exclusive briefing analysing the rise of factor investing, discussing the critical issues investors are considering when assessing the opportunities of this market.

Factor investing is one of the fastest growing investment strategies in recent years. Though not a new concept, these emergence of factors in investible form as components of strategic and alternative beta investments has taken the approach to the mainstream with assets under management in Europe predicted to reach €500bn by 2020.

For DC and DB schemes, factor investing is proving attractive as a flexible tool in portfolio construction. However, in a world where there are no guarantees how can investors optimise the diversification, yield and cost benefits? With funds evolving from single to multi-factor, can this rules-based approach deliver on the promise of outperformance in the long-term, when compared with traditional active and passive strategies? As markets remain uncertain and the sector grows in size, how do factors perform under different conditions and what are the most effective strategies to manage investment risk such as correlation, crowding, liquidity and accessibility? Where will the next phase of growth come for this market and how is it likely to be impacted by increasing levels of digitisation?
