The VettaFi Index Factory is the first modern, cloud-based index engine built for speed, accuracy, and flexibility. It allows VettaFi to comprehensively iterate investment strategy ideas with clients and bring their innovative products to the market with speed and efficiency.
The pillars of the VettaFi Index Factory are:
These pillars can help issuers build the products that will take them to the next level of success.
VettaFi maintains decades of point-in-time global data. In February 2025, VettaFi acquired Credit Suisse’s fixed income indices from UBS, providing fixed income product developers a wealth of data through which they can backtest and innovate on unique fixed income exposures.
Other acquisitions and strategic decisions by VettaFi have propped up what was already a robust data set spanning equities, fixed income, and alternatives. The Index Factory can leverage all of this data to experiment with exposures and innovations, allowing issuers to see how a potential product might have performed at a specific point in time. This insight helps VettaFi and our clients develop deeply tested, thoughtful products on a faster timetable.
The Index Factory has a vast store of data that will be invaluable for most products. Additionally, it can accommodate both client-proprietary and third-party data sets, further opening up product opportunities and allowing for issuer innovation. These additional data integration capabilities allow the Index Factory to be plug and play for asset managers. Connect your own data with VettaFi’s vast data sets and collaborate to build the precise exposure you want for your product.
The transparency into the data for constituent selection is another huge perk for the Index Factory, allowing asset managers to preview rebalance changes in advance, and continuously iterate with a full-view of the playing field.
Traditionally, backtesting can be a time-consuming, painstaking process. The Index Factory offers issuers unprecedented operational speed and scale. Iterations can be run quickly allowing product developers to fully explore how small changes in methodology can impact returns, turnover and tracking error against major benchmarks.
As your product development team experiments, they will not be slowed down waiting on backtest results. This will enable them to fail faster and iterate toward success.
One of the major logistical hurdles facing asset managers is the dissemination of an index. The VettaFi Index factor publishes to all major third-party aggregators via direct-data feeds. This means that the index will be where you need it to be, allowing for a smoother platforming of your final product. The increased efficiency helps you get your product to market faster, before your competition.
The deep analytical capabilities of the Index Factory is a difference maker. Running backtests at speed doesn't get you very far unless you can decompose your index returns into different categories to better understand the exposures, compare against benchmarks, and fully explore the risk and return dynamics.
The Index Factory can seamlessly integrate custom strategies and factors. The only limit is the imagination and innovation of the issuer.
