I do not know about you but whenever I looked at an investment or an investment strategy, there will be one or a couple of key thing that made me feel that I should take my chance and go down certain rabbit holes.
When it comes to Smart Beta or factor investing, it was this key thing that I noticed when I tabulate the annual returns of the MSCI World and the different MSCI World factor indexes.
Note: I provided an introduction to smart beta passive investing in this in-depth article here.
If you invest in an exchange-traded fund that tracks the MSCI World, you are able to periodically add to a “volatile long term saving account” that enable you to passively earn market returns.
I do know that there is a recent period where the MSCI World did not perform very well.
