On July 19, the 10-year Treasury yield saw its biggest one-day drop since March 23, 2020, reflecting concerns over global economic growth. Furthermore, according to a Reuters article, in recent weeks hedges against a big market drop have increased in the options market, indicating investors are fearful of a market correction.
So, as we approach late summer, which, historically, has been known for market volatility, it could be wise to bet on low-volatility ETFs now. We think the low beta values of iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF (USMV), Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV), and Legg Mason Low Volatility High Dividend ETF (LVHD) make them ideal picks now.
