Hi everyone!
I’m starting a long-term DCA (20+ years) and I’ve been researching the Fama-French 5-Factor Model. I want to build an all-equity portfolio that captures these risk premiums without overcomplicating things (aiming for 'less is more').
My monthly budget is ~€600. Here’s the draft:
- 30% iShares MSCI ACWI (ISAC | IE00B6R52259) - Core global coverage.
- 20% iShares MSCI World Small Cap (IUSN | IE00BF4RFH31) - Size factor.
- 25% iShares Edge MSCI World Value (IWVL | IE00BP3QZB59) - Value factor.
- 25% iShares Edge MSCI World Quality (IWQU | IE00BP3QZ601) - Profitability/Quality factor.
A few questions for you:
- Do you think this setup effectively captures the Fama-French factors for a UCITS investor?
- Is the 20% tilt to Small Cap (Blend) sufficient, or should I look into Small Cap Value (like ZPRV) despite the higher complexity/tracking error?
- Given the 20-year horizon, is this tilt too aggressive or well-balanced?
