High Returns & Lower Risk | Minimum Volatility ETFs | 2024

So, it appears I could have a pie with say 20% Low volatility instead of 20% money market and guilts? Opinion sought, not advice.

Is not somehow counterintuitive to invest and be defensive about it? Would not be better in case to stay away from market or using market fund treasury instead?

Portfolio question: Would you have a portfolio with 35 separate companies? All getting a small amount of my monthly investment.

Is 35 too many? I just can't narrow them down.

Thanks for sharing Tom. Enjoying the series

Great vid. This is something I’d like to look at when I reach retirement. It’s all good for me to invest into high growth now I’m in my 30s. But as I approach my 50s, I believe it’s important for me to see where to sell of and transfer to.

Excellent video. Well done. I've used MINV as a means of diversification and risk reduction in preference to UK gilts over the last few years. I've a 100% equities portfolio, and this is the "lower" risk end of it. YMMV, but it has suited me! The yield has been a bonus as well.

Keep up the good work young man,
Enjoying your slow an steady style of narration 👍

Also - you say, that over the long period from 1988 min vol had only small outperformance of 8.33 vs 7.94. But you forget dividends! It's not total return. Total return, with dividends reinvested would make min vol fund look much more attractive!

Great content Tom! Check out the book by Pim van Vliet : High Returns from Low Risk: A Remarkable Stock Market Paradox

Now we need proper UK income ETFs as I would love to transition from my high yielders hand picked to just hands off and chill.. LLY and WM are bangers stocks, great dividend cagrs and not bad financials.

Good timing with this one Tom. Maybe it is time to ‘be fearful while others are greedy’?
