EDHEC-Risk Institute paper analyses the impact of transaction costs on the performance of systematic equity strategies
March 16, 2017--A new EDHEC-Risk Institute publication entitled "Smart Beta Replication Costs," conducted as part
of the Amundi research chair at EDHEC-Risk Institute on "ETF, Indexing and Smart Beta Investment Strategies", provides an explicit estimate of the costs applied to a range of Smart Beta strategies
and analyses the impact of different implementation rules or stock universes.
A reasonable expectation from an investor's perspective is that providers should disclose the estimated
level of transaction costs generated by their strategies so as to allow for information on net returns.
However, providers often fail to make explicit reference to transaction costs and simply report gross
returns, leaving it to other market participants to figure out the exact amount of transaction costs.
