BlackRock’s Australian-raised super-quant on why factors may explain almost everything there is to know about beating the market.
BlackRock’s Andrew Ang has earned the title as the king of factor investing. But there’s only one place where the work of a finance professor is considered so important that it gets you an audience with an actual king., which has more than $US1.5 trillion in assets, owns on average 1.5 per cent of every single listed company’s shares on the planet.The enormity of it means that it has to own large chunks of equity and bond markets.
The upshot was that the fund needed to communicate better how it was trying to extract extra value from global equity and bond markets, and thrust factors into a national debate.of securities, and factor investing is essentially about deploying capital based on an expectation that certain traits will fare better than others.
Ang says Norway has always been on the cutting edge. It has set the bar in terms of transparency, the virtues and vices of ESG, and factors.That’s because, much like our superannuation funds, it is compelled to rebalance its asset allocation after big moves. So, if equities crash and bonds rally, the fund must bank its bond gains to buy stocks.
