Smart Beta differs also from the standard beta derived portfolios due to the fundamental theory by which stocks are bought and sold in the said portfolio. In a standard beta portfolio as it follows the CAPM standard such as capital markets as S&P500, it sells of low pricing stocks whilst buying high-valued ones which are making headway in the market. This in theory goes against what is profitable. On the other hand, the Smart beta portfolio does the opposite and thus, buys shares which have…
