These indices track the performance of the futures contracts that settle to VIX®, the CBOE Volatility Index and the leading measure of the stock market’s expectation of volatility, as implied by S&P 500 options.

Indices

Short-Term

The S&P VIX® Short-Term Futures Indices utilize prices of the next two near-term VIX futures contracts to replicate a position that rolls the nearest month VIX futures to the next month on a daily basis in equal fractional amounts. This results in a constant one-month rolling long position in first and second month VIX futures contracts.

Dynamic

The S&P Dynamic VIX® Futures Indices dynamically allocate between a short- and mid-term VIX futures strategy by monitoring the steepness of the implied volatility curve. They are designed to provide a cost-efficient exposure to forward implied volatility.
