What is volatility? Volatility is the rate at which the price of a stock increases or decreases🏧 over a particular period. Higher stock price volatility often means higher risk and helps an investor to estimate the fluctuations🏧 that may happen in the future.

The idea behind low-volatility funds is simple: stocks that fluctuate🏧 less than the market as a whole are supposed to do better in bad times while still faring well in🏧 good times.
