The current range includes indices constructed to outperform the respective country benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p>A commonly shared investment goal of rational investors is to maximize their portfolios\u2019 efficiency AKA risk-adjusted returns, prevalently measured by the Sharpe Ratio. One of the problems encountered in using the conventional Sharpe Ratio on a forward looking basis is the lack of stability in a stock\u2019s underlying trends. <\/p>\n<p>Sarasin Systematic Efficient Approach is focused on constructing highly efficient portfolios in a more robust way by addressing the stability problem of the Sharpe ratio through Sarasin &#038; Partners\u2019 proprietary efficiency technique.<\/p>\n<p>Steffen Scheuble, CEO, Solactive, says: <em>\u201cSolactive is happy to announce our cooperation with Sarasin &#038;<br \/>\nPartners on the calculation of indices that not only aim to outperform country markets but also employ a<br \/>\nsophisticated and proven methodology \u2013 a methodology that is passionate about obtaining a sustainable profit<br \/>\nin the mid-long term.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Andrea Nardon, Partner, Sarasin &#038; Partners LLP, states: <em>\u201cThe epic rise and wide range of alternative weighting<br \/>\nand factor indices, AKA Smart Beta products, may well leave investors overwhelmed as to which risk factor to<br \/>\nchoose and when. We are proud to deliver a robust, transparent, cost-efficient methodology that enables<br \/>\ninvestors to gain core equity exposure, enhanced portfolio efficiency, diversification and broad market<br \/>\nrepresentation. The methodology, which is squarely focused on efficiency, is uniquely positioned to benefit<br \/>\nfrom exposure to three proven risk premia whilst avoiding problems inherent to multi-factor optimization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The SSEA Indices are calculated as total return. Central to an SSEA index construction is the ranking of stocks<br \/>\nbased on their efficiency profiles. Approximately 50% of the most efficient stocks in an investable universe are<br \/>\nselected which \u2013 combined with a non-cap market weighting of constituents \u2013 results in a very well diversified<br \/>\noutcome. \u201cBy its construction, an SSEA index results in a broad market representation\u201d, says Nardon. The<br \/>\nindices are rebalanced at the beginning of each month.<\/p>\n<p>All 5 SSEA indices outperformed their respective benchmarks throughout the last 3 years of live performance<br \/>\nand historical back-tests going back to 90s.
