ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF Company profile

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that provides leveraged exposure to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index. It measures the returns of a portfolio of monthly VIX futures contracts with a weighted average of one month to expiration.

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF was launched in October 2011 and is listed on the Cboe BZX exchange under the ticker ‘UVXY.’ As of the end of 2021, the fund has an expense ratio of 0.95%.

Its underlying S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index is considered a hedge against large and sudden drops in the equity market and has historically had a negative correlation to the S&P 500 index. The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index tracks returns of a portfolio of monthly VIX futures contracts that rolls positions from first-month contracts into second-month contracts on a daily basis.

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF seeks a return of 1.5 times returns of its underlying index for a single day, according to its prospectus. The prospectus recommends investors to monitor their UVXY holdings as frequently as daily, as compounding of returns over periods other than one day is likely to differ in amount and possibly in direction from target return.

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF is designed for investors who seek to profit from increases in the expected volatility of the S&P 500 and those who seek reduced US equity portfolio risk. It is intended for short-term use. 

It should be noted that UVXY does not track the performance of the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) and can be expected to perform very differently from the VIX.
