The new fund relies on Northern Trust Asset Management’s Engineered Equity strategies, with $37.4bn in assets under management as of September 30, 2014.
The fund is designed to capture the premium associated with high quality small capitalization stocks efficiently while reducing uncompensated risk factors.
Matthew Peron, managing director of global equity at Northern Trust Asset Management, said, "Our Engineered Equity approach provides efficient exposure to global small cap equities with a bias toward high-quality companies and factors that generate persistent performance over time. We worked closely with Kemper to develop a solution that fits their performance and risk budget needs, leveraging our core capabilities, and we believe this strategy will have broad appeal."
