Without any screening or selection, solely investing in all SOEs or the largest market cap SOEs may not be optimal strategies. What is important for investors is how to capture the current contributors and engines for future growth of China economy regardless whether the underlying stocks are SOEs or non-SOEs.

Are all smart beta products smart? This is a question I've asked a few times over the last few years but always got a "nuanced" answer depending on the product being marketed.

Can you trust the numbers reported by all Chinese listed corporations? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean smart beta can't generate alpha. With help from our friends at Rayliant, we dive into a factor metric that allows us to deprioritize earnings manipulators and to generate alpha from their efforts.

The macroeconomic landscape is shifting rapidly, driving a brutal global bond selloff that has pushed yields to nearly two-decade highs. Rising oil prices and firmer-than-expected July PCE data—featuring a rebound in core goods that points to underlying inflation of around 3%—are reigniting inflation concerns. This has triggered a retreat across sovereign debt markets, from Japan and Australia to US Treasuries, where the 10-year yield recently hit its highest level since January of last year. Against this backdrop, monetary policy is becoming a source of volatility rather than clarity. While Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish message at Jackson Hole hinting at potential rate hikes, bond investors remain deeply skeptical. Given Warsh’s history of mixed signals, markets are actively hedging against the risk that the Fed ultimately keeps rates steady. Compounding this policy uncertainty is a resurgence in equity turbulence driven by protectionist trade measures, including impending semiconductor tariffs and bans on foreign energy grid equipment. This volatile combination of unpredictable central bank action, equity turbulence, and a severe selloff at the long end of the yield curve makes the stability of Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) exceptionally appealing. FRNs structurally insulate portfolios from the duration risk currently punishing traditional bonds, while retaining the flexibility to capture higher yields if the Fed does hike. Even if rates simply remain steady, FRNs provide a reliable, premium income stream. For efficient, liquid access to this defensive strategy, the Premia US Treasury Floating ETF (available in Distributing and Accumulating Unit Classes) offers a targeted solution to navigate today's complex market dynamics.
