OppenheimerFunds Announces New Suite of Dynamic Multi-Factor and Single-Factor Based Strategies
Expanded Beta Solutions Platform Includes Launch of Dynamic Multi-Factor ETFs
NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OppenheimerFunds, a leading global asset manager, today announced the continued expansion of its Beta Solutions product offering with the launch of a suite of eight new ETFs – including two Multi-Factor and six Single-Factor products – in partnership with global index provider FTSE Russell.
The new offerings are led by two dynamic Multi-Factor ETFs, which combine the diversification benefits of multiple factors with the expertise of OppenheimerFunds Global Multi-Asset Group's (GMAG) research to cyclically adjust factor exposure to different macroeconomic environments in a single packaged solution.
In addition to the Multi-Factor ETFs, the Single-Factor products offer precision exposure to well-established and time-tested investment styles including value, momentum, quality, size, yield and low volatility.
Sharon French, Head of Beta Solutions at OppenheimerFunds, stated, "Our continued focus on building an innovative, market-leading ETF platform with a diversified product set of investment solutions across a variety of markets, geographies and factors remains driven by the needs of our clients. With the addition of our new factor-based products, led by our dynamic Multi-Factor ETFs, we are giving clients the next generation tools they need to help produce compelling investment results in any market environment."
"Our new Single and Multi-Factor ETFs are an exciting and significant addition to our rapidly expanding suite of smart beta products," said Art Steinmetz, Chairman and CEO, OppenheimerFunds. "We believe the combination of GMAG's regime-based insights and FTSE Russell's proven methodology is a unique differentiator that will provide our clients with a broad array of options to meet their investment needs."

An investment in ETFs is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. Foreign investments may be volatile and involve additional expenses and special risks, including currency fluctuations, foreign taxes, regulatory and geopolitical risks.
ETF returns may not match the returns of their respective index, known as non-correlation risk, due to operating expenses incurred by the ETF. The alternate weighting approach employed by ETFs, while designed to enhance potential returns, may not produce the desired results. Because ETFs are rebalanced quarterly, portfolio turnover may exceed 100%. The greater the portfolio turnover, the greater the transaction costs, which could have an adverse effect on ETF performance.
Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
