Indexed ETF strategies seek to provide consistent, cost-effective core solutions for investors looking to build efficient broad market exposure. However, with equity markets volatile and returns expected to be lower over the long term, growth-oriented investors may wish to explore opportunities to seek excess returns as part of a diversified portfolio.

Our REI approach takes small active positions in stocks based on our proprietary fundamental insights, while also keeping regional, sector and style exposures close to the index at all times to maintain a consistently low tracking error.
The goal is to maximise stock-specific alpha opportunities and to minimise uncompensated market, sector and style risks - all while maintaining a competitive fee¹.

We achieve the ‘E’ in the strategy by applying the insights of our global team of 90+ research analysts (covering 2500+ stocks) and a disciplined valuation model. This is a process we have successfully used for 30+ years.

Additionally, the strategies are now available in an ETF wrapper - JPMorgan Global Research Enhanced Index Equity ETF (JREG) is a core building block that employs our proven investment process that goes beyond passive exposures and seeks to outperform the index.

Since inception in 2003, our REI strategy has continued to see both short- and long-term alpha generation³ against the benchmark across various market environments – whether it is value or growth orientated.

This is result-driven, specifically by the strength of our team of research analysts presenting a wide breadth of investment opportunities – which saw 13 out of 19 sectors under coverage contributing positively to the strategy’s performance⁴.

Keeping tracking error low is important in the REI strategy. Tracking error helps us measure the risk we take versus the index – when markets are highly volatile, measuring tracking error helps to reduce the draw down. As of 31 March 2023, the realised since inception tracking error of the strategy stood at 0.68%⁶.

Even more important than tracking error, we have information ratio (IR). IR is the relationship between excess return and the tracking error. We seek to achieve consistent IR through the different market cycles – and IR measures how efficient the portfolio manager is in generating alpha.

From an academic point of view, a strong IR is 0.5. As of 31 March 2023, our since inception REI strategy’s IR was 1.28⁶ – this implies that we are above what is considered a strong IR.
