Qontigo InsightTM Quarterly Risk Highlights Q2 2020: The Storm After the Storm? Applied Research

Equity markets posted one of the best quarters in more than a decade, but most were not able to cross into black territory for the year. Volatility—of benchmarks, sectors, risk model factors, etc.—came down from the year-to-date peaks, though remained high. Style factors saw an unusual performance, increased volatility, and large changes in factor correlations, which likely had a significant impact on active risk.
