BOREALIS G-AF
BGA Global Country Allocation Framework (Borealis G-AF) is our transparent and intuitive framework for classifying about 250 cross-sectional anomalies (“factors”) across 9 “factor groups” that were gleaned from academic literature published over the last 30 years. Borealis aspires to be at the forefront of structuring and standardizing factors for country- and industry- based investing, and accordingly, G-AF creates common parlance and characterizations around country- and industry- level index factors for creating feasible country and industry allocation strategies for ETF sponsors, global allocation specialists, institutional money managers, portfolio managers, investment advisers, equity analysts, financial services companies, rating agencies, and financial data analytics firms.
