Manage market volatility

Our low volatility ETF suite provides broad exposure to U.S., non-US. developed, and emerging market equities and seeks to reduce downside risk. They focus on:  

  • Least volatile stocks: The low-volatility factor screens stocks that have been the least volatile in their asset class over time. 
  • Reduced portfolio fluctuations: During turbulent markets, factor-based investing aims to limit drawdowns and help keep your clients on track.
  • Upside potential and risk mitigation: Low volatility style seeks to reduce downside participation when markets decline, with relatively attractive returns when they rise.

For example, Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV) had attractive up-market and down-market capture ratios versus the S&P 500 Index since its inception in April 2011.1

    This is in comparison to the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Low Volatility Index is designed to measure the performance of the 100 least volatile constituents of the S&P 500 Index over the past 12 months as determined by S&P. Up-market capture ratio is used to understand how a fund’s performance compares to a market reference index during periods of positive market returns. If the up-market capture ratio is below 100%, it means the fund experienced worse performance (captured less up-market) during periods of positive market performance versus the index. If the up-market capture ratio is above 100%, it means the fund experienced better performance on average (captured more up-market) during periods of positive market performance versus the index. Down-market capture ratio is used to understand how a fund's performance compared to a market reference index during periods of negative market returns. If the down-market capture ratio is below 100%, it means the fund experienced better performance on average (captured less down-market) during market drawdowns versus the index. If it is above 100%, it means the fund experienced worse performance on average (captured more down-market) during market drawdowns versus the index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
