Financial journalist opinion

SVIX: Blood On The Streets, Time To Buy

SVIX is down over 50% from the top due to extreme volatility, while SVXY and SVOL offer less aggressive exposure to VIX futures. SVIX has implemented VIX calls as a hedge, protecting the fund from significant losses as the VIX surges. Buying SVIX now presents a probabilistically sound opportunity with limited downside and potential for gains as volatility is at historic highs.

SVIX: Take Profits Ahead Of Rising Political Risks

SVIX ETF has returned 86% in the past year, outperforming the S&P 500. Rising political uncertainty heading into the November elections may lead to increased volatility and tail risks, impacting short-volatility strategies. Furthermore, as former President Trump's election odds rise, investors may have to price in his policies, which could lead to higher inflation, larger deficits, and trade wars.

SVIX: I Actually Like It Now

Short VIX Futures ETF has made changes to its strategy, making it more appealing to risk-averse investors, so I am changing my view from last year. The fund now employs hedges against a possible jump in VIX, reducing the risk of a blow-up like in 2018 and 2020. SVIX has outperformed the S&P 500, returning 46% in the last 6 months and 190% since the summer of 2022.
