FTSE Diversification Based Investing Index Series
The FTSE Diversification Based Investing Index Series, launched in association with QS Investors, LLC, is designed to provide bear market protection relative to the equivalent market capitalization weighted benchmark.
The index series seeks to take advantage of macro and behavioural inefficiencies in equity markets by developing a diversified exposure to macro risk factors. Diversification Based Investing (DBI) focuses purely on portfolio construction rather than stock selection and uses analysis of country and sector correlations to create a portfolio that is highly diversified across major risk exposures in the market.
The FTSE Diversification Based Investing Index Series uses the FTSE All-World Index Series, the benchmark of choice for international investors, as its base universe.
