Hence, in a mean-variance sense, fundamental indexing should offer more efficient outcomes.

In her paper, Bolla takes the basic model of factor exposure and applies it to the concept of fundamental indexing in the bond market. The composite index Bolla created produces an annual average outperformance of 101 basis points (bps) per year versus the market-cap-weighted benchmark from 1990 to 2014.
2 Jun 2008 Less volatility during down turns or market crashes along with higher recovery rate. Basically, better downside protection than a regular index fund (in theory because of the dividend weighting). What are the Negatives? This paper explores the concept of fundamental indexing around the world. Using an international sample of 50 developed and emerging countries, we provide insight into the return behavior of fundamentally weighted portfolios on a global and country-specific level. In this way, we expand the focus to a global level, Using an international sample from 1982 to 2008, we investigate the performance of global and 50 country-specific (28 developed and 22 emerging) fundamentally weighted portfolios compared to capitalization-weighted portfolios.
