3 Executive Summary Smart beta (also known as strategic beta, factor-based indexing and other names) has become one of the hottest concepts in asset management and has sparked a proliferation of products especially among ETFs. As of mid-2016, the U.S. market featured over $460 billion in assets invested in more than 600 smart-beta ETFs, according to Morningstar. The simplicity of the concept is part of its appeal: tracking indexes that aren t tied to traditional market capitalization-weighted indexes, thereby taking a rules-based approach to gain exposure to a single factor, multiple factors, or even a strategy. Beyond the potential to generate less-correlated or even superior returns, asset management firms find smart-beta ETFs alluring because they blur the line between active and passive management. Thus, they represent a newer market with more upside potential. Of the 740 financial advisors we surveyed across broker-dealer and RIA channels, 35% are currently using smart-beta ETFs a notably lower percentage than those using traditional ETFs, which suggests plenty of room to grow. Our expectation for growth is based on the fact that once advisors start using smart-beta ETFs they re very likely to boost allocations to them. Among the smart-beta ETF users we surveyed, 78% of them plan to increase their overall AUM in smart-beta strategies over the next three years. Of the 78% planning an increase, 14% of advisors are considering increasing their overall AUM in smart-beta ETFs by 11% or more. Extrapolating those dollars to the broader advisor universe suggests more than $100 billion in net new flows to smart-beta ETFs over the next three years even if no new advisors start using them. The payoff can be big for purveyors of active management because smart-beta ETFs can command significantly higher fees than traditional ETFs. Already a number of fund firms that typically eschew passive products have drawn on their active expertise to enter the smart-beta ETF market. As additional firms add to an increasing number of smart-beta ETFs, it becomes more important to understand how advisors are deploying these products and where there are genuine openings in the market. To help asset managers navigate the smart-beta ETF opportunity, this report addresses four main questions: 1. What is the current status of smart-beta ETFs and their utilization by advisors? 2. How are financial advisors using smart-beta ETFs? 3. Where will growth come from in smart-beta ETFs, and what types of products are on tap? 4. Which strategies and traits distinguish these products in an increasingly crowded market? Matthew Van Wagenen, Loren Fox and Rita Raagas De Ramos, report co-authors 3 The Opportunity in Smart-Beta ETFs August 2016
4 Methodology This report is based on proprietary surveys of five main audiences conducted by Ignites Distribution Research: 1. We surveyed the Financial Times 400 Top Broker-Dealer Advisors, a list of top brokerdealer advisors from across the U.S. from wirehouses and independent and regional BDs. The average FT 400 advisor manages $1.7 billion in client assets and has 25 years of experience. The FT 400 members applied for inclusion in the list, which was published in the Financial Times; Ignites Distribution Research conducted the ranking. We surveyed 240 FT 400 advisors in June We surveyed the Financial Times 300 Top Registered Investment Advisors, a list of elite, independent RIA firms from across the U.S. with average AUM of $2.8 billion per firm. The FT 300 members applied for inclusion in the list, which was published in the Financial Times; Ignites Distribution Research conducted the ranking. We surveyed 179 FT 300 advisors in June We surveyed 240 midsize financial advisors in the broker-dealer and RIA channels. These advisors, surveyed in June 2016, average $300 million in assets under management. 4. We surveyed 31 external wholesalers of smart-beta ETFs from 22 different asset managers in May-June 2016; they average 12 years of experience as externals. 5. We surveyed heads of product development and management at 13 asset management firms in May-June 2016, representing $900 billion in long-term assets in mutual funds and ETFs Money-Media Inc.
