Markets, Size & Weighted Volatility ETFs
- Pininvest Analysis
The list of low volatility ETFs is extensive - a testimony of the popularity of a strategy combining lower risk exposure and sustained returns
But reality did not quite make good on these promises over the past years, essentially because the top performing industries – healthcare and technology – also turned out to be the most volatile … and the less favored in volatility weighing by the funds
Basing our selection on a volatility reference in the fund denomination, the theme remains far from complete : all the numerous multi-factor ETFs account for volatility targets in the weighting of their constituents as well...
The funds have mostly fulfilled their mandate of lowering volatility but for investors, the multiple factors filtering the securities data base before volatility rescaling matter foremost and we initiate our series with assets defined by region (US, developed or emerging) and market cap
Multi-factor and high-beta selections are discussed separately
We do not receive any commission or other form of compensation from the providers included in our 'Funds' presentation
