Should You Pick Low-Volatility Funds In Choppy Mkt?

The Nifty 50 has corrected over 10% from its peak since September 27 2024.

Low-volatility funds aim to reduce the impact of market volatility by investing in a basket of stocks that tend to be less volatile.

These are passive funds that track low-volatile indices.

The funds invest in stocks included in a low-volatility index, which picks stocks on the basis of volatility scores rather than business fundamentals.

Volatility is calculated as the standard deviation of daily price returns for the past one year.

In the recent market scenario, funds tracking the Nifty 100 Low Volatility 30 have beaten the Nifty 50 in six-month and one-year periods.
