This quarter, the SciBeta Developed Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy 4-Factor EW index, the SciBeta Developed High Factor Exposure Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy 6-Factor EW index and the SciBeta Developed Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy Max Factor Exposure index post relative returns of -0.65%, -1.23% and -0.46% respectively compared to cap-weighted indices. Year-to-date, the indices post relative returns of -0.05 %, -0.45% and 1.06% respectively compared to cap-weighted indices.
