Fixed-income investors are ready for factor funds, survey says As the bond bull market grinds on, investors increasingly see fixed income as fertile ground for factor investing. “Factors” are broad characteristics of securities, such as volatility, momentum, and quality, that can be quantified and harnessed to achieve a better performance than benchmarks. The strategy has mostly been applied to stocks, not fixed income – out of a total $900 billion in factor exchange-traded funds , only $13 billion is in fixed-income, according to FactSet data – but that may be set to change. An annual factor investing survey from Invesco found 70% of institutional investor respondents said they believe factor investing “can be extended to fixed income” in 2019, up from 62% last year. In part, that’s because investors are realizing that whether or not their fixed income portfolios explicitly use a factor approach, their returns are “implicitly driven by exposure to factors,” Invesco noted.
