Looking beyond short-term results, rolling returns and rolling volatility may better show their role inside indexed insurance, where steadier outcomes can matter alongside growth.
Realized volatility also stayed generally lower than the benchmark for both approaches, while a dynamic intraday method reduced volatility further than traditional daily controls.
Recent conditions reinforced these tools are not meant to outperform everywhere; they aim for a more stable risk profile, balancing downside protection with upside participation.
