Harbor Human Capital Factor US Large Cap ETF (HAPI)

HAPI: Why This Large-Cap Human Capital Factor ETF Works

HAPI ETF uses a proprietary method to select 150 U.S. large-cap companies with strong corporate cultures. It's an unusual source of potential alpha, but HAPI has outperformed SPY by 10%. Dan Ariely, co-founder of Irrational Capital, attempts to quantify the employer-employee relationship by focusing on intrinsic motivation, perceived compensation fairness, and limited bureaucracy. However, HAPI has not succeeded based on the human capital factor alone. As I will demonstrate, its starting universe, weighting scheme, and sector-neutral approach are crucial to the fund's success.
