Low Volatility: Equity Upside with Downside Protection
Low volatility strategies offer investors a less risky way to participate in the equity market, and these strategies have performed well in a number of different market environments. This is supported by over 90 years of empirical data, which show that, relative to the broad market, low-volatility strategies offer better stability, higher risk-adjusted and absolute returns, and shallower drawdowns in volatile markets.
