LGLVAState Street SPDR US Large Cap Low Volatility Index ETF

XMLVCInvesco S&P MidCap Low Volatility ETF

In short

LGLV Most low-vol funds run an optimizer. LGLV just ranks the biggest 1,000 US stocks by how calm they have been and gives the quietest ones the heaviest weights, for 0.12% a year.

XMLV No data

Stated mandate

LGLV The fund is designed to provide exposure to U.S. large-capitalization equities selected through a low-volatility index strategy.

XMLV No data

Why people hold it

  • LGLV 0.12% a year, below the typical US low-vol fund (cohort median 0.20%) and under USMV's 0.15%.
  • The rules fit in one sentence: screen the largest 1,000 US stocks, weight the calmest heaviest, subject to liquidity limits. No black box.ssga.com
  • Running since 2013 and tracking its index tightly, it rates as one of the stronger builds in the US low-vol group.

XMLV No data

Worth knowing

  • LGLV Weighting by volatility alone means the sector mix can lean hard into whatever is quiet (often utilities and staples) and look nothing like the S&P 500.ssga.com
  • Trades lighter than the category's household names, so spreads can be wider. Limit orders matter more here.
  • Low volatility is not low risk: this is a fully invested stock fund and it can move very differently from the broad market.ssga.com
