The development of exchange traded investment funds (ETFs) simplifies the application of factor strategies for investors. However, these strategies have not yet found sufficient application in the Russian market due to technical problems of processing initial data and inertia of financial intermediaries. Keywords: financial markets, financial markets’ volatility, factor investing, exchange traded funds, mutual investment funds Classification-JEL: E44, G11, G41 Journal: Russian Economic Developments Year: 2022 Issue: 2 Month: February Pages: File-URL: http://www.iep.ru/files/RePEc/gai/recdev/r2221.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:gai:recdev:r2221
