Introduction
MPT & Low Risk Anomaly
According to the Modern Portfolio Theory, there exists a direct relationship between risk and the expected return.
Riskbased Anomaly A portfolio with low volatility stocks can yield higher returns than a high-volatility portfolio.

This study intends to employ both Low volatility (LV) & Minimum variance (MV) investment strategies to explore risk anomaly in Indian markets.

Possible expiations for persistence
Fund managers variable component of compensation leads them to prefer high volatility stocks.
Investors indifference to outperformance during negative return period and irrational preference for outperformance during positive return periods.

Relative preference for High Beta/Low Alpha over Low beta/High Alpha
Limits to arbitrage:
Restrictions on borrowing and fund mangers mandate to outperform a set benchmark dont allow arbitrage between low beta-high alpha and high beta-low alpha stocks.
