VIXY: Not A Portfolio Hedge, Just A Day Trading Tool

  • VIXY is not a suitable long-term portfolio hedging tool due to negative roll effect in VIX futures, down -85% in 3 years. VIXY is only profitable in rare events, up 9.9% for the year despite a 55% gain after the August 5, 2024 VIX spike. Alternatives for portfolio hedging include buying Treasuries and market neutral funds like BTAL, which have shown better performances.

VIXY: History Says Now Is The Time To Own Volatility

  • The US economy shows soft business conditions, lingering inflation, and concerning household debt. The S&P 500 continues to reach all-time highs while the volatility index remains low. Owning VIXY in small amounts as a hedge to the S&P 500 and timing it properly can be beneficial.

VIXY: Complacent Markets Warrant A Hedge

  • The Federal Reserve's pivot towards a 'soft landing' and potential rate cuts in 2024 has boosted asset prices and hurt hedges like VIXY.

VIXY: Like A Put Option, Without Using Options

  • Volatility is a constant presence in the markets, causing concern when high and uncertainty when low.
