The ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (VIXM) pursues its investment objective by maintaining long positions in VIX futures contracts. To support these derivative holdings, the fund parks collateral in cash, cash equivalents, or short-term, high-credit-quality instruments such as U.S. Treasury securities and money market fund shares.
As a passively managed exchange-traded product in the trading/miscellaneous category, VIXM falls within the volatility-linked ETF segment-a niche designed to give investors targeted exposure to forward VIX expectations rather than direct equity market beta. Listed on BATS since early 2011, the fund operates with a micro-cap asset base typical of specialized single-thematic ETFs that rely on futures-based strategies rather than traditional stock or bond holdings.
- VIX mid-term futures enter steep contango increasing roll costs
