UVXY: Leveraged ETF Is A Put Option Surrogate For S&P 500 Bears

I use VIX-based ETFs like VIXY and UVXY as surrogates for put options to benefit from rising volatility. SVXY acts like a call option for me, as it gains value when volatility drops and stocks typically rise. Leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ (long) and SQQQ (short) are key trading tools, offering amplified exposure to market moves.

UVIX And UVXY: The Equity Volatility Premium Might Be Unwound Soon

A volatility premium has opened up, which we expect to unwind in due course. Macro variables are on a knife's edge, and docile put buying has dragged the VIX into a lagged territory. We anticipate reversion to occur. The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF has suffered serious losses recently, yet, we think it's bound to benefit from front month volatility being seemingly underpriced.

UVXY: Leveraged Volatility Makes For A Unique Hedging Tool

The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF owns one and two-month futures on the VIX, the volatility index, aiming to be leveraged 1.5x. Historically, the VIX and leveraged exposure to it has proven profitable hedges during sudden market downturns. This makes UVXY an interesting potential tactical position. This article explores UVXY educationally, discussing its construction, use cases, and performance against peers.

Volatility ETFs Spike on Renewed Trump Tariff Threats

Volatility ETFs are on the rise as Trump's renewed tariff threats sent the VIX fear gauge soaring 29.3% last week.

UVXY: Bullish For The Month Of June

ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF offers an opportunity for tactical risk-seeking investors, portfolio hedgers, and traders to act on front-month volatility. We think front-month volatility is underpriced. We calculated the 3-month SMA higher than longer-run averages, which is likely justified given a string of macro and political shocks. Unfortunately, we see the baseline VIX being higher for longer given the unstable political, fiscal, and economic cycle environments. On the plus side, inefficient VIX term structures could occur.

UVXY: Effective Volatility Hedging During VIX Mean Reversion

The Cboe Volatility Index surged to over 52 points on April 8, 2025, the highest since March 2020, indicating extreme market volatility. ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN are effective hedging tools in volatile markets. Selling calls on UVXY and VXX can maintain hedging positions in the short term until market volatility subsides, despite potential mean-reversion of the VIX in the near future.
