T a recent seminar where I was a speaker, I was asked whether I felt Factor Investing is here to stay.

- ASHOK KUMAR

Before sharing my response at the conclusion of this column, let us first take a deep dive into the concept and modus operandi of Factor Investing.

Factor investing funds that are offered to investors by mutual fund houses use specific ‘factors’ while making investments. Factor investing funds use data and research to build a portfolio based on specific characteristics or factors in stocks that have historically optimised performance while lowering risk. These factors can include value, momentum, quality, volatility and size.
