The Power of Low Volatility: New Research, New Results & New Solutions

Friday, May 8, 2015    Webinar Completed
Time: 11 a.m. PT/ 2 p.m. ET

The idea of reducing volatility has always been something of a holy grail. Historically, investors reduced exposure to equities and increased fixed-income exposure. However, when correlations race to 1, this approach has done little to actually reduce volatility. More recently, results from academics have shown building a portfolio that may reduce volatility is no longer a fantasy.

While the findings have shown that investors can identify low-volatility characteristics, what does this mean for portfolio construction; how should investors use these innovative strategies; and what unintended risks might they expose investors to? Join ETF.com, S&P and Invesco PowerShares as they answer these questions and more in the final segment of ETF.com’s Smart Beta webinar series.

The opinions expressed are those of the speakers and are not necessarily those of Invesco Distributors Inc. or Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P), ETF.com or their affiliates. The outlooks discussed may not necessarily come to pass. Invesco, Invesco PowerShares, Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P), ETF.com and their subsidiaries and affiliates offer no guarantees or warranties as to the accuracy and reliability of opinions expressed.

There is no assurance that a fund will provide low volatility.
