Abstract
In Fact, Fiction, and Factor Investing from the January 2023 issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management, authors Michele Aghassi, Cliff Asness, Charles Fattouche, and Tobias Moskowitz of AQR Capital assess the validity and veracity of 10 claims about factor investing. They conclude that five are fact and five are fiction. Ultimately, the authors argue that while factor investment strategies entail inherent risks, they are profitable long-term strategies, and provide valuable diversification that is not dependent on market conditions or macroeconomic environments.
