The low-volatility anomaly refers to a paradox observed in financial markets where stocks or assets with lower volatility (i.e., less price fluctuation) tend to outperform their higher-volatility counterparts on a risk-adjusted basis. This runs counter to traditional finance theories, particularly the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which posits that higher risk (volatility) should be associated with higher expected returns.
