Volatility control funds near record equity exposure, raising selloff risk
Volatility control funds are holding equity exposure close to record highs, according to a Reuters report. The concentration has drawn attention because these funds mechanically cut positions when market volatility rises, so a sudden shock could trigger forced selling and amplify losses across equity markets. Traders are watching the positioning as a potential vulnerability in an otherwise calm environment.
Why now: Record-high equity exposure among volatility-sensitive funds raises fears that a market shock could trigger forced selling.
