Update: Volatility & Quality

Update: Volatility & Quality

Volatility & Quality is a factor-based strategy that aims to create exposure to stocks with low volatility and high quality ratings. Rebalancing occurs once a month, and the goal is to achieve a higher risk-adjusted return than the stock market.

All of our factor-based strategies are based on concepts where there are behavioral explanations for why they have the potential to outperform. These strategies help us act more rationally. By following a systematic strategy, we avoid the mistake of selling winning positions too early, for example.

Our model portfolios are included in our premium package. They are updated once a month. We report the holdings and portfolio weights on the page Model portfolios.
