Fama/French Australia Value Index
<p>In this episode of "What's the Risk" we take a look at the Fama French Australia Value Research Index. It is a research index from the Fama French model that tracks the performance of stocks with low price-to-book ratios.</p><br><p>This index has data going back to 1975, so it's a valuable data set to measure the performance of value stocks in Australia against indices like the ASX 300. </p><br><p>While our benchmark comparison is the ASX 300 for this video, we also take a look at Fama/French Australia Value against the Dimensional Australian Value Trust - Active ETF (net of fees), as Dimensional have spent considerable time using Fama & French's research.</p><br><p>Want to learn more about investing?

S&P 500 Equal Weight Index QUS?
<p>In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the S&P 500 Equal Weight NR Index AUD, which some investors may know is tracked by Betashares QUS ETF.</p><br><p>Equal weight indices have become more topical as market cap weighted indices have shown increased concentration in a smaller number of companies at the top of the index. For some investors their instinct tells them that this needs to be avoided and they'd be much better in an equal weighted index fund. This belief can be backed up by long term data showing that equal weight indices outperforming their cap weighted counterparts.</p><br><p>While over the long term equal weight indices have shown outperformance, every strategy has to be replicated in the wild successfully after costs and taxes. This is where equal weight strategies can run into problems.</p><br><p>Want to learn more about investing?

MVIS Australia Equal Weight Index MVW?
<p>In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the MVIS Australia Equal Weight Index. Some people would know the ETF that seeks to track the performance of this index as Van Eck's MVW.</p><br><p>Equal weight indices have become more topical as market cap weighted indices have shown increased concentration in a smaller number of companies at the top of the index. For some investors their instinct tells them that this needs to be avoided and they'd be much better in an equal weighted index fund. This belief can be backed up by long term data showing that equal weight indices outperforming their cap weighted counterparts.</p><br><p>In regards to the MVIS Australia Equal Weight Index it's not quite what investors might expect, it's not 300 or even 200 of Australia's largest companies equally weighted, at the moment it's 75, so while investors may be avoiding concentration risk by using a product that tracks this index, they're not achieving broad diversification. </p><br><p>As this index has outperformed a broader ASX over the longer term we consider some reasons for that, but we're slightly dubious on its equal weight characteristics. Either way, it's an interesting concept and we'll be looking at further equal weight indices in coming episodes.</p><br><p>Want to learn more about investing?
