Betapro S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETF

The Betapro S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index. This index measures the returns of a portfolio of near-term VIX futures contracts, offering direct access to the volatility expectations within the U.S. stock market.

Primarily, this ETF targets investors interested in leveraging short-term volatility trends, making it particularly relevant during periods of market uncertainty or stress. By tracking the futures tied to the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), commonly known as the "fear gauge," this product enables investors to potentially benefit from spikes in market volatility. This ETF is integral to hedging strategies, risk management, or tactical allocations aiming to take advantage of statistical deviations in market behavior. It plays a vital role for those focusing on volatility-driven strategies, reflecting broader market anxieties and expectations that often impact financial instruments and investor sentiment globally.
