But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea on where it might be headed:

ONEV in Focus

The underlying Russell 1000 Low Volatility Focused Factor Index reflects the performance of a segment of large-capitalization U.S. equity securities demonstrating a combination of core factors high value, high quality, and low size characteristics, with a focus factor comprising low volatility characteristics. The fund charges 20 bps in fees and yields about 1.86% annually.

Why the Move?

Since markets have been volatile lately due to rough U.S.-China trade relations as well as broader global economic slowdown, seeking refuge in low-volatility products rather than sticking to highly-risky options can help investors to endure the geopolitical storm. This kind of products provide hedge against economic uncertainty.

More Gains Ahead?

The fund has a positive weighted alpha of 9.60. So, there is definitely still some promise for those who want to ride on this surging ETF a little longer, especially if uncertainty prevails.
