The New Active Decision in Beta Management
Join Northern Trust as we present the key findings from our latest research paper “The New Active Decision in Beta Management”. This report takes the baton from our 2012 research paper ‘Customised Beta – Changing Perspectives on Passive Investing‘ by exploring the world of alternative indices and how demand for these capabilities is altering the alpha/beta landscape. Our primary objectives were to validate the trend we saw from our client base, and identify the challenges faced by investors.
