Masterclass on factor investing (smart beta) with Sankaranarayanan Krishnan- Part 2 Zerodha Educate

In the first part of our conversation we spoke about absolute basics of factors investing and dove deep into the two major factors — low volatility (low vol) and momentum. We spoke about why these factors exist and the explanations, return expectations, and how to use them in an asset allocation framework.

For this episode, we focused on the other two factors—value and quality. We talk about how value as a factor is different from the popular "value investing", how to really measure the value and how to implement them. We also covered what is meant by quality, why it works and if it's a real factor.



Sankaranarayanan Krishnan is a quant fund manager at Motilal who has rich experience designing factor models and managing factor funds.
