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.

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.

UVXY: Investors Spooked, But Lower Volatility Ahead
I am issuing a sell rating on UVXY due to expected lower volatility trends, despite the VIX's recent rise to 24. Weak economic data and growth fears have spooked investors, but I believe the S&P 500 will find its footing soon. Implied volatility is overvalued compared to historical volatility, suggesting a decline in market-wide implied volatility and bearish implications for UVXY.
