Fire! Fire! Are Low Volatility Strategies A Crowded Trade?
Picture George Costanza screaming “FIRE! FIRE!” and barreling his way out the door knocking over old women and children and you will have a very good visual idea as to what a “crowded trade” means to an investment manager. We play investment detective and assess if low volatility strategies have become crowded by examining:
• What Is A Crowded Trade?
• Signals That The Low Volatility Investing Space Is Crowded
• Crowding in Canadian vs. US Low Volatility Strategies
• How To Avoid A Crowd
