In today’s persistent low-yield environment more and more asset owners and asset managers are resorting to the use of smart beta strategies in order to enhance performance.

In the past two years, there has been an increasing trend towards the use of smart beta indexes, in particular, for asset allocation by asset owners seeking innovative ways of improving the performance of their portfolios as well as on increasing cost-savings.

Asset owners are also starting to apply smart beta index asset allocation strategies for ESG investing and sustainability investments. But while the use of smart beta strategies in general, smart beta indexing in particular, has been growing in Europe and the US, Asian institutional investors are just starting to get interested in this methodology.
