FAQs: Factor-based investing 

A factor-based approach to portfolio construction and risk management may help improve outcomes by creating portfolios in line with a range of diverse client objectives. Factor-based analysis can be a powerful way to assess manager performance, as it allows a manager’s security selection skill to be separated from their investment style.

The team is able to integrate ESG considerations as a component of portfolio construction. 

Originally established as a risk-advisory function, the Fundamental Factor Team built an extensive factor platform and has evolved into a client-solutions partner. Focusing solely on factor-based investing and research, the team has access to over 350 building blocks for portfolios, using Wellington’s diverse investor pool as well as the team’s own proprietary factors.
