vs S&P 500 (SPY) — 1 Year
Beta
-0.04
IVOL moves 104% less than the S&P 500. Lower market sensitivity — more defensive.
Correlation to SPY
-0.07
Low correlation — moves more independently. Adding this alongside SPY reduces portfolio volatility.
Annualised Volatility
6.9%
Standard deviation of daily returns annualised. S&P 500 long-run avg ≈ 15%. At 7%, IVOL is more stable than the broad market — typical of bond/defensive ETFs.
Relative Performance — IVOL vs SPY (base 100)
About IVOL
Long TIPS + options on interest rate volatility. Benefits from rate uncertainty or rising inflation.
Macro Regime Alignment
Historical analysis of which macro regimes have favoured IVOL. Based on the regime's characteristic interest rate environment, growth conditions, and sector rotation patterns.
Rate Hike Cycle
Fed Funds ↑↑ · Tightening
The Fed is raising rates aggressively. Duration gets crushed. Leveraged assets and growth stocks suffer most. Short-term bonds and cash finally earn yield.
Stagflation
Growth ↓ · Inflation ↑
The most damaging regime: slowing growth while prices keep rising. The Fed faces a cruel dilemma. Gold and short bonds are the few safe havens.
Volatility Shock
Credit spreads ↑↑ · Stress spike
A financial panic or crisis. Credit markets seize, spreads blow out, and the financial stress index spikes. Cash, gold, and US Treasuries are the only safe havens. Everything else sells off indiscriminately.
Current regime: Inflationary Boom — this ETF is not historically among the strongest performers in the current macro environment. Consider checking which ETFs are regime-aligned on the ETF Explorer.
