Since 1950, the S & P 500 has recorded an average daily move of 1.3%, higher or lower, for the month . Even when excluding the Black Monday crash of 1987, October remains the stormiest month for stocks. With this in mind, CNBC PRO screened for some safe-haven stocks that investors can look toward for some calm during the rocky times.

Meanwhile, their 3-year beta values have come in at 0.75 or lower, indicating they're less volatile. Year to date, NextEra Energy has rallied nearly 39%.
