Equity Philosophy

Indexing is a Great Strategy(if properly designed)


The Advantages of Passive Investing

Index funds are a compelling choice for investors■ Broad market exposures■ Diversification■ Large investment capacity■ Low fees and expenses■ Low due diligence and monitoring costs■ Superior performance over time relative to most active managers


Frame of ReferenceTwo Views on the Markets

25

Cap-WeightMarket Centric View

Graham & Dodd Economy-Centric View

Markets are efficient—prices reflect true valuations

Departures from cap weight are active bets, inherently a zero-sum game

Invest in companies proportional to market valuation

Seek equity risk premium not alpha

Markets are constantly seeking fair value, but prices are rarely right

Some companies can get overpriced, some underpriced

The market itself makes active bets Create valuation model of the company

and invest in ones which offer the best rate of return

Are Markets Becoming More Efficient With Time?

The Fundamental Index® MethodologyEfficient Indexing

for an Inefficient Market®


Select and weight stocks by non-price measures of firm size

■ Sales, cash flow, dividends, and book value

Achieve excess returns over cap weighting1

■ 2–4% in developed markets■ Greater in less efficient markets

Preserve the advantages of passive investing ■ Diversification■ Liquidity■ Transparency■ Broad economic representation■ Low cost access to equity markets

The Fundamental Index Approach

1Based on Research Affiliates historical simulated data using CRSP, Compustat, Worldscope and Datastream, on universe of U.S. equities 1962-2009 and International equities 1984-2009.


Effectively break the link with price■ Pricing errors are uncorrelated■ Both overvalued and undervalued stocks will be either overweighted

or underweighted, but the errors largely offset each other

Metrics reflect objective measures of relative size■ Widely acceptable measures of company size■ Less susceptible to gaming■ Easily accessible data■ Not intended to be predictive of future size or value■ Broadly available across countries

exclusion of growth companies■ Book value—overexposed to companies with aggressive accounting

Composite approach improves methodology■ Diversifies exposure to data source, sectors, and other risks■ Improves robustness of methodology■ Improves stability of factors■ Superior risk–return performance*

Does not outperform in every bear market■ When markets punish deep value stocks in favor of growth

● Not typical of bear markets, which normally savage growth stocks

Alpha recovery occurs when prices correct■ Correction of irrational exuberance in stocks (tech bubble)

● Fundamental Index strategy typically outperforms by a wide margin

■ Macroeconomic reasons (energy crisis, financial crisis)● Fundamental Index strategy typically on par with cap-weighted benchmarks

Fundamental Index advantage comes from:■ Avoiding overreactions to irrational anti-bubbles ■ Trading into the least favored companies

Weighted Average Market Cap

The Fundamental Index® StrategyEnhancements


Objective■ Seek to enhance Fundamental Index return advantage over S&P 500

by 50–100 bps with minimal pick-up in tracking error

Process■ Constantly scan for promising new ideas

● Review leading research journals

● Participate in academic and practitioner conferences

■ Rigorously examine and test promising new ideas● Determine economic and behavioral rationale for excess return

● Gauge robustness and statistical significance using econometric methods

● Determine additional trading costs and weigh in light of excess return

● Assess impact on other enhancements and Fundamental Index strategy advantage

What Do We Do in Enhanced RAFI?


Quality of Corporate Earnings■ Reduce weights in companies that use aggressive accounting■ Use net operating assets ratio

Financial Distress Risk■ Reduce weights in companies that are closer to default■ Use debt coverage ratio

Signal Diversification■ Reduce the big active weights of the largest cap-weighted stocks■ Use proprietary methodology

Enhancements to the Fundamental Index Methodology


Cap-weighting has a rich history… and a flaw

The Fundamental Index concept improves on cap weighting■ Addresses the shortcomings of cap weighting while maintaining the

benefits of a broad market index■ Generally outperforms its cap-weighted counterparts■ Adds more value as pricing errors increase (i.e., in markets like

emerging markets, international, and small cap)
