Stock Investors Pay Up For Peace Of Mind

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
Investors are pouring billions of dollars into funds that promise to minimize market swings, highlighting the anxiety that prevails after seven years of stock gains.

So-called low- and minimum-volatility funds are designed to fluctuate less than the market as a whole—not climbing as high during rallies but not falling as far during selloffs. That kind of risk avoidance has been popular this year. The top-five low-volatility exchange-traded funds added a net $12.5 billion through June 30, even as investors yanked roughly $52 billion from U.S. equity funds, according​to estimates from​Chicago-based investment researcher Morningstar Inc.
