Standard & Poor's, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies (MHP), announced it has launched the S&P 500 Dynamic VEQTOR Index which dynamically allocates between equity, volatility and cash to provide broad equity market exposure with an implied volatility hedge.
The S&P 500 Dynamic VEQTOR Index is comprised of three components, equity, as represented by the S&P 500, volatility, as represented by the S&P 500 Short-Term VIX Futures Index and cash, as represented by the Overnight LIBOR rate.
The Index allocates between equity and volatility based on the combination of realized and implied volatility trend decision variables, and these allocations are evaluated on a daily basis. A stop-loss feature is also provided to investors to further enhance equity and volatility investing.
The S&P 500 Dynamic VEQTOR Index is a member of the S&P 500 volatility linked indices family which includes the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, the S&P 500 Volatility Arbitrage Index and the S&P 500 VIX Futures Index Series.
