The Dynamic Long VIX Futures Index is a dynamic allocation between a hypothetical money market instrument and a dynamic strategy (the “Volatility Strategy”), designed to provide efficient long exposure to the first five nearby futures contracts on the VIX Index.
The strategy consists of rolling a long position in VIX futures. This aims to:
-Deliver positive performance when volatility rises through a dynamic exposure to VIX Forward Term structure.
-Reduce the cost of carry thanks to SG roll methodology.
-Ensure liquidity by investing only in short-term and mid term futures.
When VIX Future Term structure is in contango, mid term maturities are rolled to minimize cost of carry. When VIX Future Term structure is in backwardation, short term maturities are rolled to maximize gain of carry
