It is equally-weighted and rebalances twice a year. Currently, the index is heavily weighted toward defensive Healthcare and Utilities sector stocks. The S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility Index has historically realized less volatility and less severe drawdowns compared to the broad market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"613\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-1100x613.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218890 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-1100x613.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-700x390.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-1536x856.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/buudwbYr-2048x1141.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/613;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The above chart compares the price index to the equal-weight S&amp;P 500 Index. The ratio is battling to stay above a rising 200-day moving average. If investors become more sensitive to earnings or price volatility, flows may be directed out of cyclical growth and into more stable defensive stocks.
