\ncomposed of five fundamentally-weighted indices with factor tilts, including three equity and
\ntwo fixed-income indices, which are used as the basis for five new ETFs issued by Candriam

\nthrough a smart beta scheme allocating weight to shares and bonds that display specific value,
\nquality and low-volatility features. In doing so, these indices combine two powerful trends in
\nthe investment landscape: the increasing awareness regarding ESG aspects and the strong
\ninterest in Factor Investing\/Smart Beta.<\/p>\n
