Global economic growth is slowing. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has cut its growth projection to 2.9% this year. Only four months ago, it was projecting 3.2% growth.

The new projection is the lowest in a decade. Still, this business cycle has been unusually long and therefore slower growth is to be expected. The important point is that investors who understand that will have many money-making opportunities. Let’s explore the issue with the help of a chart.

Chart

Please click here for an annotated chart of the iShares Edge MSCI Min Vol USA ETF USMV. It’s a low-volatility exchange traded fund. Here it’s compared with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY, which mirrors the S&P 500 Index SPX.

Please note the following:

• The chart shows the low-volatility ETF has continued to outperform the S&P 500. In theory, the low-volatility ETF should underperform in a rising market.

• The reason for outperformance is two-fold. First, investors are concerned about the slowing economy and, second, lower interest rates.

• The chart shows the Arora buy signal for the market on Christmas Eve. In hindsight, Christmas Eve turned out to be the major bottom of this swing.

• The chart shows that the low-volatility ETF fell in the Arora buy zone, offering subscribers a great opportunity to buy it.

• The chart shows that during the market swoon in May, the low-volatility ETF barely budged, while the S&P 500 fell about 8%. This is the magic of low volatility. Similar conclusions can be drawn by comparing the low-volatility ETF to the Invesco QQQ Trust QQQ,  which tracks the Nasdaq-100 ETF Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA.

• The chart shows that during the market weakness in late July and early August, once again the low-volatility ETF outperformed the S&P 500.

• Often low volatility is associated with utilities and consumer staples. However, this ETF holds many growth stocks. Of note is the difference in top holdings of the low-volatility ETF compared with SPY, QQQ and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Apple AAPL, Amazon AMZN, Facebook FB,  and Google holding company Alphabet GOOG,  GOOGL  are among the top holdings of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. The Dow’s top holdings include Boeing BA, UnitedHealth Group UNH, Home Depot HD and Goldman Sachs GS.

• The largest holding of the low-volatility ETF is gold miner Newmont NEM. Other holdings of note are Visa V, Coca-Cola KO, McDonald’s MCD and Verizon Communications VZ….Read more at MarketWatch.
