Friday, March 22, 2:29 PM Bill Luby takes a look at the low volatility fad, checking the performance of the popular SPLV against the high beta SPHB. Over longer periods - and even in bull markets - low volatility appears to have a high probability of outperforming high beta, particularly when risk-adjusted. The biggest risk is a sharp bull move similar to the last few months in which high beta leaves the defensive stocks in the dust. Comment!
Thursday, February 28, 6:46 PM ALPS debuts an options-focused High Volatility Put Write ETF HVPW today. As low-volatility ETFs gains focus in the ETF space with recent fund launches, HVPW gives investors an opportunity for exposure to puts on high-volatility stocks (whose options, naturally, command a risk premium in prices). HVPW charges 0.95%, higher in contrast to other option funds BWV and PBP, charging 0.75%. 1 Comment
Thursday, February 21, 4:26 PM State Street rolls out 2 low-volatility ETFs: SPDR Russell 1000 Low Volatility (LGLV) and SPDR Russell 2000 Low Volatility (SMLV). SMLV has an expense ratio of 0.25% while LGLV is the cheapest among peers at 0.20%. Competitors SPLV, IDLV, XMLV and XSLV charge 0.25% while EELV charges 0.29%. Demand for low volatility ETFs has picked up due to recent risk-adjusted outperformance vs. standard market cap weighted funds. Comment!
Tuesday, February 19, 3:31 PM The red-hot low volatility investing sector gets two more ETFs with State Street launching Thursday the SPDR Russell 1000 Low Vol. ETF (LGLV) and the SPDR Russell 2000 Low Vol. ETF (SMLV). The original low vol. ETF (SPLV) has outperformed the SPY by about 400 bps since its May 2011 inception. The sector ETFs have taken in $1.5B thus far in 2013, about 1/3 of the total for all 2012. 2 Comments [Financials]
Friday, February 15, 3:41 AM PowerShares expands its Low Volatility ETF suite with 2 new ETFs: S&P MidCap Low Volatility (XMLV) and S&P SmallCap Low Volatility (XSLV). The ETFs come with a 0.25% expense ratios, in line with counterpart IDLV (0.25%) and SPLV (0.25%), and slightly less than EELV (0.29%). Over the recent 1-year period, SPLV returned 16.36%, 68 basis points better than SPY, with an SD of just 8.6% vs. 12.8% for SPY. (pdf) 1 Comment
Tuesday, January 29, 7:50 PM Direxion strategy ETFs VLAT and VSPR, which track the S&P volatility index, marked the first ETF closures of 2013, as they failed to generate investment interest. With more uncertainty on the global economy, volatility ETFs have remained under pressure, making this investment proposition unattractive. The closure comes within one year of their launch. Comment!
