What role does factor investing play?

A lot of focus recently has been on the pros and cons of equal-weight exposure but other factors are available, such as minimum volatility, momentum and value. This week David Thorpe and Joseph Wilkins are joined by William Marshall, chief investment officer of Hymans Robertson Investment Services, to discuss why he is keen on factor investing and how he uses it. They also discuss the recent volatility seen in the fixed income market and whether alternative options exist. And they discuss the continued dominance of US equities at the expense of other regions.
