As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
Underperformed the last couple of years. Low volatility was all the rage when we had some corrections. We might have some more corrective action in US stocks, Warren Buffett has a massive cash hoard, Stanley Druckenmiller's calling for 0% growth in US stocks for 10 years. Volatility is tempered with ZLU -- it will go down less in a correction, but up less too. You might decide to stick with this for the long term.
No tech stocks, but low volatility with McDonald's and Waste Management. Utilities that pay dividends. Good for waiting and seeing how trade headlines plays out.
Has done very well, but you have to think about the US dollar being high and expect more and more companies to have earnings disappointments. Forget currency hedging.
