American Century Low Volatility ETF(AMEX:LVOL)

LVOL seeks to deliver lower portfolio volatility than its benchmark, the S&P 500. This actively-managed fund invests in US companies with attractive fundamentals and at least $2 billion in market cap. Aside from traditional and asymmetric measures of price volatility, the fund also considers consistent cash-flows, stable operations and strong balance sheets. After using quantitative models to evaluate the stock price risks and business safety and continuity, the fund managers further screen the portfolio for factors such as risk management, transaction costs and liquidity. Overall, this multi-dimensional approach aims to balance the return and risk objectives of the fund.
