I'm recently long SPLV and was thrilled to find out about it here. And I was looking for equivalents in other indices. Nice. I'll have to have a good look.

Even "low-volatility" indexes aren't going to protect principal. Just how big is the market for these passive "low-volatility", anyway? Won't it just lead people toward elite active managers? As long as we can kick the Jack Bogles of the world to the curb, I'm good with it, I guess.
