Hartford Risk-Optimized Multifactor Emerging Markets Index

Index Attribution Report

Objective

Balance risk across emerging market countries, currencies and companies
Reduce concentrations in larger, export-driven emerging market economies, global multi-nationals, and state-owned enterprises.
Increase exposure to smaller, more locally driven emerging economies
Select companies with favorable valuation, momentum, and quality characteristics
Seek improved returns relative to capitalization-weighted emerging markets indexes with similar risk

Description of Methodology

The rules-based proprietary methodology employs a multi-layered risk allocation approach that first de-concentrates exposures by balancing risk across the equities within each country and then seeks to balance downside risk contribution across all countries in the emerging markets universe. From the risk-balanced baseline, the methodology selects companies with favorable diversified risk premia expression, including value, momentum and quality characteristics. The Index seeks to harvest mean reversion opportunities and risk premia factors through systematic risk- and factor-weighting twice annually, through systematic reconstitution (in March) and rebalancing (in September).
