The iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) provides investors with exposure to futures contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) across specified maturities, rather than direct exposure to the VIX spot level. As an exchange-traded note (ETN), it is a debt instrument issued by a financial institution that tracks the performance of an underlying benchmark, in this case a basket of short-term VIX futures.
ETNs like VXX operate within the volatility trading and derivatives sector, offering a way to access the S&P 500s implied volatility without trading options or futures directly. The product is listed on the BATS exchange and is categorized as a miscellaneous trading instrument.
