The first is the low volatility anomaly, which is the outperformance of low volatility stocks relative to their high volatility counterparts on a risk-adjusted basis. The second effect is that, all things being equal, the lower the volatility of an investment, the greater the compounding of portfolio returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there is ample evidence that the low-volatility anomaly is widespread across markets, there has been less research on regional differences for the compounding effect. To fill this gap, we examine the performance of low volatility strategies globally, distinguishing between the low volatility anomaly and the compounding effect. We find that using a low volatility approach in emerging markets can meaningfully reduce the risk of the market portfolio making the compounding effect exceptionally powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read the full white paper:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><a class=\"btnFullDown\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quoniam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/White-Paper_LowVol-EM-Story.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDF Download<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">YOU MIGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED IN<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-default\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n        <div class=\"newsSliderWrapper qm-element\" style=\"--color:;\">\n            <div class=\"newsSlider\">\n                                    \n                    <div class=\"slide\">\n                    \n                        <div class=\"newsTeaserWrapper cell\">\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quoniam.com\/en\/video\/navigating-emerging-markets-with-a-minrisk-strategy\/\" title=\"Navigating emerging markets with a MinRisk strategy\">\n                                    <div class=\"newsTeaser\">\n                                        <div class=\"image\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quoniam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Quo-03-D-W-Mark-448x220-c-default.png\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"info\">\n                                            <div class=\"preHeader\">\n                                                <div class=\"cat\">\n                                                    Video\n                                                <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"date\">\n                                                    April 2024\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"headline\">Navigating emerging markets with a MinRisk strategy<\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"introText\">\n                                                                                                    <p>How can investors unlock the untapped potential of emerging markets while mitigating risk?
