2x Long VIX Futures ETF

UVIX tracks an index that provides 2x daily leveraged exposure to a portfolio comprising first- and second-month VIX futures positions with a weighted average maturity of one month.

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.

Turbocharging Stock Market Volatility With UVIX

UVIX is a leveraged ETF, which amplifies both gains and losses. This makes it unsuitable for long-term investors given the fund's -99% total return in the past three years. VIX futures have a negative roll yield, which means they tend to lose value over time. This, combined with leverage, can lead to significant losses for long-term holders of UVIX. While UVIX is not suitable for long-term investment, it can be a profitable trading instrument for experienced day traders who can capitalize on short-term volatility spikes.
