Besides, multifactor models are critical in ensuring that an investor&#8217;s objectives correspond with active fees. This helps establish whether the investor\u2019s aggregate portfolio meets their return expectations and risk appetite.<\/p>\r\n<p>Multifactor models are instrumental in establishing exposures to various risk factors. This includes the risk factors that express specific macro expectations in portfolios such as inflation, economic growth, among others.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h2>Question<\/h2>\r\n<p>Which of the following is the <em>least likely<\/em> benefit of the use of multifactor modeling of asset returns for investors?<\/p>\r\n<ol type=\"A\">\r\n\t<li>It helps investors understand the comparative risk exposures of equity.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>It helps in the construction of portfolios that obtain a consistent result on the characteristics of the benchmark.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>It helps establish whether an investor\u2019s aggregate portfolio meets his return expectations and risk appetite.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h4>Solution<\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>The correct answer is B.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>It is not Investors&#8217; duty to construct portfolios.
