Defiance Launches VIXI: Enhanced Long Volatility ETF with Leveraged Short S&P 500 Exposure
August 8, 2025--Defiance ETFs, a pioneer in thematic and leveraged investment solutions, today announced the launch of the Defiance Enhanced Long Vol ETF (VIXI). The Fund seeks enhanced total return by combining approximately 0.75x to 1x long exposure to VIX futures with 1.5x to 2x leveraged short exposure to the S&P 500 Index.
Through this dual-strategy approach, VIXI is designed to benefit from periods of heightened volatility and declining equity markets.
VIXI offers a way for active investors to gain targeted exposure to market volatility while simultaneously hedging against U.S. equity downturns. By pairing long VIX futures exposure with a leveraged short position on the S&P 500, the Fund provides a distinct tool to help navigate uncertain markets and potentially capitalize on volatility spikes.
