LGLV: Low Beta, Value Tilt Do Not Translate Into Consistent Outperformance
State Street® SPDR® US Large Cap Low Volatility Index ETF offers exposure to a cohort of U.S. stocks with a weighted average 24-month beta of just 0.5. It makes perfect sense to consider low beta portfolios, but it is worth remembering that low volatility strategies, LGLV included, tend to meaningfully underperform IVV over the long term. Since the index change in 2016, LGLV has underperformed IVV by around 83.2%, as it was incapable of capturing a sufficient share of its upside.
LGLV: Defensive Growth Tilt And Strong Risk-Adjusted Performance
LGLV offers a compelling low volatility approach with impressive sector diversification and a surprising growth/tech tilt, enhancing risk-adjusted returns. The ETF's methodology ensures broad sector representation, limiting concentration risk and providing exposure to defensive and growth-oriented stocks. While LGLV doesn't always outperform in every market downturn, it consistently delivers superior returns versus low volatility peers, especially in growth markets.
LGLV: A Low-Volatility Approach In Different Regimes
LGLV offers diversified, low-volatility large-cap exposure, with modest valuations and sector balance, making it attractive across different market conditions. Short-term risks include liquidity withdrawal, crowded long positioning, and fragile market sentiment, supporting LGLV's tactical appeal. Mid-term headwinds stem from slowing economic growth, uncertain Fed policy, and potential equity-bond rebalancing, favoring defensive strategies like LGLV.
