The index is designed to measure directional exposure to the implied volatility of large cap U.S. stocks. The index methodology combines a daily rolling long exposure to the third- and fourth-month futures contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index with a short exposure to the S&P 500 Total Return Index. The VIX futures contracts exposure is constantly maintained, but the weighting of the S&P 500 Total Return Index is variable and determined monthly via a backward-looking linear regression.
