Volatility Is Back — Here’s How Smart Investors Are Positioning Their Portfolios

The market may be brushing up against record highs, but beneath the surface, volatility is quietly tightening its grip. With AI-driven optimism clashing against fears of future spending slowdowns, investors are navigating one of the most unpredictable environments in years.

The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is still hovering above 16—well above its yearly lows—signalling that uncertainty is far from over. And with no fresh updates on AI spending until Q4 2025 earnings, markets will likely remain choppy.

So, what’s the smart move?
👉 Focus on high-quality, lower-volatility stocks—companies with consistent earnings, strong balance sheets, and defensive characteristics.

A recent screen by Trivariate Research highlights names like:
✔ Microsoft
✔ Exxon Mobil
✔ Eli Lilly
✔ Walmart
✔ TJX
✔ Cisco
✔ Johnson & Johnson
✔ Merck
✔ Gilead
✔ Medtronic
✔ McKesson
✔ Duke Energy
✔ Charles Schwab
✔ Parker-Hannifin
✔ HCA Healthcare
✔ Monster Beverage

These companies have historically held up better on down days while still participating in upside—exactly what disciplined investors need during turbulent cycles.

As someone who mentors clients through building robust, risk-adjusted portfolios, I cannot emphasize enough:
📌 Don’t bet on one stock.
📌 Build a balanced, diversified basket designed to weather volatility.
📌 Let quality work for you—especially when markets get loud.

If you want to better understand how to build wealth consistently, manage market risk, and construct a strong investment portfolio, I’ve shared my full framework in my book:

International Stocks Quietly Outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025 — Here’s Why It Matters for Your Portfolio in 2026

Most U.S. investors missed a major shift last year…

While the S&P 500 delivered a solid 18% return, international markets (ex-U.S.) returned 32%, and several export-driven economies massively outpaced both:
• 🇰🇷 South Korea: +95%
• 🇧🇷 Brazil: +49%
• 🇯🇵 Japan: +26%

Example of Standout International Equity Performers (2025): See photo and video below
📸
This performance wasn’t luck — it’s the result of shifting macro and valuation dynamics:

✔ Lower global interest rates
✔ Fiscal stimulus in Europe & Japan
✔ Earnings acceleration
✔ Stabilization in China’s AI/cloud sectors
✔ Attractive valuation discounts
✔ Weaker U.S. dollar boosting returns

To put valuation into perspective:
🇺🇸 U.S. equities trade at ~23x forward earnings vs 🌍 ~15.6x internationally.

That valuation gap represents opportunity.

💡 What This Means for Investors in 2026

This isn’t just diversification for “safety.”
International exposure is now return-enhancing, especially across:
• European quality & value
• Japanese industrial reform plays
• Chinese AI, biotech & cloud infrastructure
• Brazilian electrification-linked commodities
• Indian private-sector banking

Institutional portfolios have been reallocating globally for years.
Retail investors are only now catching up.
