Is Investing in Low Volatility Equity Worth It?

I’ve been diving into different investment strategies lately and keep coming across low volatility equity. It sounds appealing because I'm a bit risk-averse and prefer a less bumpy ride with my investments. Has anyone else here gone down this path? What are your experiences?

Do you think it really provides a buffer during market downturns, or is it just another marketing buzzword? I’m curious about the long-term returns compared to more traditional equity strategies. If you’ve had success or even failures with low volatility stocks, I’d love to hear about it. What’s your take?
