The “fear gauge,” maintained by CBOE Global Markets, has since come down to the low 20s, but those factors continue to contribute to market volatility, along with worries about another potential COVID-19 surge this spring, as seen in Europe and China.Article contentDuring market corrections, expert advisors like Willis remind people to keep the low-volatility anomaly in mind. Less volatile stocks don’t fall as violently as stocks with higher volatility.
But market participants are human, and humans don’t always act rationally — especially when it comes to decisions about money.

Good examples of mature mega-cap tech stocks include Microsoft, Intel and Cisco Systems. They all have relatively low volatility and offer healthy dividends to boot.Willis doesn’t want investors to become scared of investing altogether. For conservative investors looking for steady long-term gains, the low volatility anomaly provides a good basis for a winning strategy.
