The S&P 500 Index has fallen only 1.5% in 2015 after six years of gains, but with so many moving parts, including higher valuations and volatility caused by the sharp decline of the euro, a portfolio of steady-performing stocks might keep you in equities without a lot of anxiety.

If you believe the market is headed for a long-term decline, you might want to consider a study cited in September by Mark Hulbert that portfolios of stocks with lower price volatility tend to greatly outperform ones with higher price volatility over long periods.

With that in mind, here are the 10 S&P 500 stocks with the lowest levels of monthly price volatility over the past three years, along with total returns through Tuesday’s close. The price-volatility figure is the standard deviation of the average of monthly price changes for the period.
