- All of our core European factor indices enjoyed gains in the first quarter. Benefiting from the risk-on trend, the standout performer was Momentum.
- Quality outperformed, gaining 15% as investors flocked to companies with solid earnings and lower leverage. Offering stable income with a quality tilt, Dividend Aristocrats also gained 15%.
- Despite the threat of lower rates for longer and a fresh round of stimulus from the European Central Bank, purely yield-based strategies underperformed this quarter.
