2x Long VIX Futures ETF

The index measures the daily performance of a portfolio of long positions in first and second month VIX futures contracts. This theoretical portfolio is rolled each day to maintain a consistent time to maturity of the futures contracts. The index is calculated daily at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and at a value calculated from the average price for the futures contracts between 3:45 p.m. (Eastern time) and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time).

The VIX spiked to its third-highest level in August 2024 due to widening bid-offer spreads, reflecting investor fears amid geopolitical and economic volatility. Despite a post-election drop, the VIX remains in the buy zone, with historical patterns suggesting potential rebounds above the 20 level. Rising long-term interest rates and geopolitical tensions could trigger stock market corrections, pushing the VIX higher as investors seek price insurance.
