EDHEC-Risk Institute set up ERI Scientific Beta in December 2012 as part of its policy of transferring know-how to the industry. ERI Scientific Beta is an original initiative which aims to favour the adoption of the latest advances in “smart beta” design and implementation by the whole investment industry. Its academic origin provides the foundation for its strategy: offer, in the best economic conditions possible, the smart beta solutions that are most proven scientifically with full transparency of both the methods and the associated risks. Smart beta is an approach that deviates from the default solution for indexing or benchmarking of using market capitalisation as the sole criterion for weighting and constituent selection.
Consistent with a full control of the risks of investment in smart beta benchmarks, ERI Scientific Beta not only provides exhaustive information on the construction methods of these new benchmarks but also enables investors to conduct the most advanced analyses of the risks of the indices in the best possible economic conditions.
