Description
The “Style Factor” is an equity risk factor that seeks to isolate the risk of overweighting “value” companies (with attractive prices) and underweighting “growth” companies (with unattractive prices).
The factor is proxied by going long a basket of “value” equities and short a basket of growth equities from the same geographic area with the goal of neutralizing much of the market and geographical exposure of the factor.
