MSCI FACTOR BOX AND FaCS FRAMEWORK (Please refer to complete description of the MSCI FaCS methodology here)
MSCI FaCS is a standard method for evaluating and reporting the Factor characteristics of equity portfolios. MSCI FaCS consists
of Factor Groups (e.g. Value, Size, Momentum, Quality, Yield, and Volatility) that have been extensively documented in academic
literature and validated by MSCI Research as key drivers of risk and return in equity portfolios. These Factor Groups are constructed
by aggregating 16 factors (e.g. Book-to-Price, Earnings/Dividend Yields, LT Reversal, Leverage, Earnings Variability/Quality, Beta)
from the latest Barra global equity factor risk model, GEMLT, designed to make fund comparisons transparent and intuitive for use.
The MSCI Factor Box, which is powered by MSCI FaCS, provides a visualization designed to easily compare absolute exposures
of funds/indexes and their benchmarks along 6 Factor Groups that have historically demonstrated excess market returns over
the long run.
