Retail fund managers have invested nearly $48 billion into quant-powered equity smart-beta exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year, following five consecutive months of inflows after a brief setback in January. This investing style, which dissects shares based on traits like value and momentum, has gained popularity among retail investors seeking diversification and exposure beyond traditional large-cap indexes. Despite ongoing outperformance of the S&P 500, smart-beta ETFs are attracting significant inflows, showcasing their potential to hedge portfolios and deliver consistent gains in stable market conditions.
