Smart Alpha DEU Small Caps EW

The strategy employs a robust, quantitatively driven multi-factor model to systematically identify high-potential investment opportunities within the German small-cap equity universe. On a quarterly basis, the model selects the top 10-15 securities that exhibit the most favorable factor characteristics, ensuring a disciplined and data-driven approach to portfolio construction. The portfolio is rebalanced every quarter to maintain optimal exposure to evolving market dynamics. The focus on small-cap equities is driven by their historically higher return potential, as companies with lower market capitalizations often exhibit greater inefficiencies and growth opportunities compared to their large-cap counterparts.
