Robeco adds new platform module
Robeco has announced it has added a factor investing module to its online educational platform, which aims to provide investors with assistance in learning the background and creating insights on factor investing while accruing hours towards their continuing professional development (CPD) points.
The new module followed on from the first module on sustainable investing, which went live last year, the firm said.
Each building block of the module includes educational content and once all of the blocks have been completed, participants could take a test to receive CPD accreditation.
“Factor investing is no longer considered a niche,” said Joop Huij, head of factor investing and factor index research.
“We’ve been leading the in factor investing for over 25 years, and are convinced that in order to provide informed advice, or make the right decisions, sufficient knowledge is instrumental – certainly when it comes to implementing a factor investing strategy.
“We see it as our duty to help investment professionals and share our expertise, therefore I am excited to have launched this module.”
