| Abstract: | A set of characteristics-based indices that, it has been argued, outperform market cap-weighted indices is analysed in this article. The performance of an exhaustive list of these indices is analysed and it is shown that 1) the outperformance over value-weighted indices may be negative over long time periods, and 2) there is no significant outperformance over equal-weighted indices. It is revealed by an analysis of the style and sector exposures of characteristics-based indices that there is a significant value tilt. |
