High Dividend Low Volatility

Approach

The Voya High Dividend Low Volatility strategy seeks to maximize total returns and maintain lower volatility relative to the overall market. In an effort to achieve its mandate, the strategy relies on three distinct sources of excess returns – low beta, high dividend yield, and alpha model – each which have demonstrated outperformance with different risk/return profiles. We believe our focus on three distinct sources helps deliver downside protection without sacrificing the potential for attractive upside returns. As such, our multi-dimensional approach results in more than one way to win across different market environments.

Key Benefits

Fundamentally Informed Global Multi-Factor Models

  • Our long-standing proprietary models combine fundamental insights with quantitative capabilities which cannot be replicated by a pure quant manager
  • Ensures factors for each sector not only test well but make economic sense
  • Provides low-cost access to fundamental alpha sources

Seeks Downside Protection and Strong Upside Capture

Our balanced approach considers all market environments

  • Low beta may reduce downside risk when markets are down but lags in up-markets 
  • High dividend yield has the potential to perform well in both up- and down-markets
  • Alpha model seeks to generate excess returns in up markets  

Diversified Exposures

  • Avoids overcrowding by targeting lower volatility at the portfolio level – not the stock level
  • Sector-neutral approach mitigates concentrated exposures to defensive "bond proxy" sectors, thus making it less vulnerable to rising interest rates
