Abstract

Our findings show that the factor/style index investing was an effective strategy over the last 30 years. The S&P 400 Midcap Growth had the best absolute and risk-adjusted performance from 1995 to 2024, closely followed by the S&P 400 Midcap Pure Growth, while the S&P 400 Small-cap Value had the worst risk-adjusted performance. Will this relative performance persist over the next 30 years will largely depend on the prevailing macro environment during this period.
