Description: VXX iPath Series SP500 VIX February 27, 2026

The iPath® Series B S&P 500® VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (ticker VXX) provides investors with exposure to a basket of CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) futures contracts of specific maturities, rather than direct exposure to the VIX spot level.

As of 27 Feb 2026, VXX trades around $12.45 with an expense ratio of 0.89 %. It holds roughly $1.3 billion in assets under management and has delivered a –4.2 % return over the past 30 days, reflecting the recent steepening of the VIX futures curve as market volatility expectations rose amid persistent inflation pressures and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance.

For a deeper dive into volatility-linked strategies, you might find ValueRay’s analytics worth exploring.
