The financial markets are indeed dynamic and adaptive. As low-beta strategies, which are typically less volatile than the market, gain popularity, their increased demand can lead to higher valuations. This, in turn, may reduce the very alpha, or excess return, that made them attractive in the first place.
It’s interesting to note how the popularity of low-beta strategies might have shifted their valuations out of the value regime, potentially eroding the alpha that these strategies historically generated. This highlights the dynamic nature of financial markets where past performance and anomalies can be arbitraged away as they become well-known and widely exploited.
