HR is currently seeing overall fall in volatility. In comparison, the SP500 index is seeing increase in volatility. During the last three months, there was a significant surge in HR's volatility from 18 Sep, 2018 to 5 Nov, 2018. While there was a significant surge in the SP500 index's volatility from 14 Sep, 2018 to 29 Oct, 2018.
Advanced/professional short-term investors should note that HR has significant positive skewness in it's return distribution. This indicates that investors can expect HR to recover from drawdowns quickly. Which makes HR a good candidate for investing on short-term bullish trends or even counter-trends hoping for a pull-back.
HR has more chance of extreme outcomes than the SP500 index. Therefore, HR must receive a lower allocation than SP500 in your portfolio. HR usually has shorter drawdown period than the SP500 index.
On a general note (since you are interested in HR), two instruments that deserve special mention are PRQR and I. They have significantly outperformed the overall market this year.
