LGLV: A Defensive Alternative Amid Increased Market Volatility

  • LGLV offers a defensive, low-volatility approach, favoring financials and industrials, suitable for uncertain markets, with ongoing trade and monetary policy risks. Historically, LGLV has underperformed SPY in total returns, but it proved it can shine during periods of extreme market stress. Current macroeconomic conditions—Fed indecision, inflation risks, and trade tensions—make low-volatility exposure like LGLV attractive for cautious investors.
