Now, we\u2019ve entered a new regime where the challenge of planning and saving<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> for long-term goals like retirement has become increasingly complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">What originally appeared to be a pandemic-driven and supply constrained price surge has turned into more than two years of persistent inflation and widespread macroeconomic uncertainty. This has brought an end to the era of the Great Moderation, a period of steady growth and muted inflation that lasted for nearly forty years and supported relatively consistent asset price returns (Figure 1). Now, those forces have reversed, and investors are faced with market conditions that are substantially more volatile and uncertain.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Figure 1: The end of the Great Moderation<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Volatility of U.S. GDP and CPI, 1965-2022<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/50328036-16848145885181513.png\" alt=\"Chart shows volatility in inflation and economic growth. Today, growth and inflation are substantially more volatile than in recent decades.\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Source: BlackRock Investment Institute, US Bureau of Economic Analysis and Labor Department, with data from Haver analytics, July 2022. The chart shows the standard deviation of the annualized quarterly change of U.S. GDP and the Consumer Price Index. Standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Past inflationary periods including the mid-1960s to 1980s demonstrate the long-lasting effects of inflation uncertainty which can be challenging for policymakers to reverse and costly for economic growth. As we look ahead, long-term structural economic forces like aging populations, deglobalization, and the multi-decade transition to a low-carbon economy may contribute to inflation remaining above pre-pandemic levels even after the current bout of price pressures is controlled. This new regime of macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility could have profound investment implications for years to come.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The inflation vs. accumulation challenge<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As investors plan for long-term goals like retirement, inflation uncertainty can diminish both the ability to save today and the value of those savings tomorrow. Accumulating savings becomes more difficult as everyday expenses and the overall cost of living increases. Investors may be less likely to maximize retirement account contributions and more hesitant to take advantage of auto-escalation features that are designed to improve investment outcomes by automatically increasing contribution rates over time. In BlackRock\u2019s 2022 Read on Retirement survey, 87% of workers reported that they\u2019re worried about the impact of inflation on their ability to save for the future. Only 34% of those workers worried about inflation have been able to increase their savings rate amid higher living costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Along with higher living costs, the effects of inflation impact the broader macroeconomic and market backdrop. Inflation uncertainty translates to policy uncertainty, which can lead to persistently higher asset price volatility. Over the course of the last year, it has become clear that the priority of central banks is to restore price stability\u2014even if it comes at the cost of economic growth. During past periods of low inflation, economic growth downturns typically led central banks to intervene and ease financial conditions, providing a backstop for financial markets. This dynamic has made prolonged equity market corrections less frequent in recent decades. Over the last year, we\u2019ve seen how policy priorities shift in a world of inflation. As central banks focus on reining in inflation, the resulting economic growth concerns have put downward pressure on financial markets that is likely to continue. This type of environment may require a more nimble and dynamic approach to return generation than what was needed in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Mind the savings gap<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For the past decade, holding investments that mirror broad market indices may have worked well for investors from an absolute and risk-adjusted return perspective. The S&amp;P 500 Index produced 13.9% returns on the back of 13.5% volatility annually from 2010 to 2020\u2014which translates to a Sharpe ratio of over 1.0.<sup>1<\/sup> This \u201crising tide lifts all boats\u201d environment led many long-term investors to prioritize tracking error<sup>2<\/sup> and cost, motivating a strong preference for indexed investment solutions. Now, the expectation for lower returns and higher volatility may be accelerating the savings gap. This creates a growing need to complement index solutions with strategies that seek to deliver returns in excess of market indices, or <em>alpha<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">We\u2019ve found that even a modest incremental increase in investment returns can significantly impact long horizon investment outcomes. Let\u2019s consider an individual saving for retirement who contributes 9% of their annual salary into a 60\/40 portfolio over the course of their career. Figure 2 illustrates the compounding effect that consistent incremental alpha can have on these long-term savings. An extra 25-50 bps of annual alpha up until the age of retirement may cover an additional ~2-5 years of living expenses vs. baseline return expectations.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Figure 2: Incremental improvements in alpha may impact long-term investment goals<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Hypothetical total account balances with baseline, +25 bps and +50 bps of alpha<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/50328036-16848147147766216.png\" alt=\"Chart shows a hypothetical long-term investment scenario of an individual saving for retirement. Over time, incremental increases in alpha of 25bps and 50bps potentially contribute to additional years of savings in retirement.\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in the index. <span>(Source: BlackRock, as of May 2023. Baseline portfolio returns are based on 20-year annualized returns of the S&amp;P 500 TR Index and the Bloomberg U.S. Agg Bond TR Index from 1\/1\/2003 \u2013 12\/31\/2022. The baseline portfolio allocation is 60% equities (S&amp;P 500 TR Index) and 40% bonds (Bloomberg U.S. Agg Bond TR Index) until retirement. In retirement, the baseline allocation changes to 20% equities and 80% bonds, assuming that the investor shifts to a more conservative asset allocation. Other assumptions for the scenario include an investor with a starting salary of $30,000 that grows at an annual rate of 3%. Retirement account contributions are 9% of the investor\u2019s annual salary. Starting at age 66, the investor begins to withdraw 50% of their ending annual salary and the withdrawal rate increases 3% annually.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In an environment of increasing living costs and elevated volatility, return generation becomes a more important consideration for investors. Relying exclusively on market beta from index strategies may no longer be sufficient to reach investors\u2019 goals. But at the same time, many active alpha-seeking strategies lack characteristics that are key to generating consistent long-term results\u2014like low-cost, risk-controlled exposure targeting specific outcomes. Systematic investing aims to solve for this challenge by taking a rules-based approach to active management.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">A rules-based system for active management<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Alpha-seeking strategies strive to outperform broad market returns by identifying and exploiting market inefficiencies. This is often done through a discretionary approach where managers take a qualitative view to analyze the fundamentals of a group of companies. By comparison, systematic managers focus on identifying the same performance indicators, but leverage advancements in information and technology to bring <strong>efficiency<\/strong>, <strong>scale<\/strong>, and <strong>consistency<\/strong> to the active management process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Efficiency:<\/strong> Investment experts utilize data to uncover insights faster and with more granularity than traditional methods. This allows for a nimble approach to security selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Scale:<\/strong> Technology enables the continuous analysis of securities across the full breadth of the market, beyond what fund analysts may be capable of manually researching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Consistency<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Systematic processes bring a disciplined approach to active management, avoiding unintended biases that can arise when relying exclusively on manager conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Beyond identifying alpha opportunities, these insights are implemented in portfolios through a process that explicitly balances return considerations with risk and cost tradeoffs. This helps identify and limit unintended style bets or concentration risks that can surface when positions are determined based on bottom-up discretionary analysis alone. Systematic processes help to quantify and manage underlying risks, targeting consistency and style purity across strategies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Finally, detailed portfolio analysis provides a continuous feedback loop to ensure that the targeted portfolio outcomes are being met with precision. As a result, investors are able to align their allocations to the risk, return, and cost parameters that reflect their investment goals. Systematic strategies balance the benefits of index investing demonstrated over the last decade with the enhanced return potential that\u2019s needed for a new regime\u2014providing core portfolio building blocks with controlled risks, costs, and the potential for consistent incremental alpha.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Investment solutions that are different by design<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Systematic investing is the foundation of Systematic Active Equity\u2019s Advantage Series platform\u2014a series of modular solutions that can be used as building blocks or complementary exposures in a diversified portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As we navigate a more challenging investment regime, the Advantage Series strategies bring a differentiated approach to long-term investing (Figure 3). Investors seeking <strong>consistent alpha<\/strong> can access high quality investment solutions that are unique from what is accessible with discretionary active or market-cap weighted index strategies. A <strong>risk-controlled<\/strong> and diversified investment approach means that exposure to concentrated bets or unintentional risks is minimized. And lastly, the <strong>cost-efficiency<\/strong> of systematic solutions means that investors pay similar fees to market index strategies, but with the potential for better portfolio outcomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Figure 3: Systematic Active Equity takes a rules-based approach to active investing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance, cost, and risk characteristics of Advantage Series mutual funds<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/50328036-1684814901476709.png\" alt=\"Image shows the objectives of systematic funds in the Advantage Series, including seeking outperformance, at a low cost, with controlled risk.\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Source: BlackRock, with data from Morningstar, as of March 31, 2023.

Inflation has become an enduring risk that limits the potential for individuals to save and is contributing to heightened market volatility. The need for incremental alpha in portfolios is more apparent than it has been in decades. Systematic strategies are uniquely positioned to balance consistent return generation with risk and cost considerations that are crucial for long-term investing. By combining human expertise with data-driven insights and cutting-edge technology, systematic investing is uniquely positioned to navigate a wide range of market conditions\u2014including today\u2019s more volatile macro and market regime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Footnotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><sup>1<\/sup>Bloomberg, based on total returns, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020.
