Investors often choose diversified, multi-factor strategies to overcome the limitations of traditional cap-weighted benchmarks. These benchmarks are overly concentrated on companies with the largest market capitalization and expose investors to idiosyncratic risks that are not rewarded over the long term. Moreover, cap-weighted benchmarks incorporate no explicit objective to capture exposure to those risk factors that have been documented in the academic literature to offer a long-term reward.

Some even pay attractive yields, which opens the door to potentially ample passive income. Take Bioventix (LSE:BVXP) as an example. Year-to-date, shares are actually down almost 13%, raising the biotech group’s yield to 4.2% while dragging the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio down to 23. The latter may not scream bargain. However, considering that this UK stock has historically traded at a much higher premium, it looks like a…
