Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

The ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) seeks to provide inverse exposure to the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index, which tracks the daily performance of short-term VIX futures contracts.

🎯 Investment Strategy

SVXY uses swap agreements and other derivatives to provide short exposure to VIX futures, aiming to deliver the inverse of the index's daily performance. The fund does not invest directly in VIX futures or options.

✨ Key Features

  • Provides inverse exposure to short-term VIX futures, which can benefit from a decline in market volatility
  • Uses derivatives like swaps to achieve its inverse exposure, rather than holding VIX futures directly
  • Designed for short-term trading, not long-term buy-and-hold investing

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Significant volatility and risk of loss, as the fund aims to provide the inverse daily performance of VIX futures
  • Potential for large losses if market volatility increases unexpectedly
  • Risks associated with the use of derivatives like swaps
  • Not suitable for long-term investors, as performance can deviate significantly from the underlying index over time

👤 Best For

SVXY is designed for experienced, sophisticated traders who seek to speculate on or hedge against short-term changes in market volatility. It is not suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors or those with a low risk tolerance.
