In the current economic environment, volatility-focused funds and strategies are ideal to reassess volatility exposure and for investors with a short-term horizon. Volatility refers to the extent of price fluctuations for a given asset or market. Historically, volatility has been inversely correlated with the stock market. When stock markets rally, volatility typically subsides as confidence returns. When stock prices decline, volatility tends to rise as investors become more risk-averse .
