iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short

VXX is a known, liquid volatility ETP, and is one of a handful that offers short-term VIX futures exposure. As a VIX ETP investor, it is important to note these two caveats: 1) Volatility ETPs deliver poor long-term exposure to the VIX index, and 2) volatility ETPs have a history of erasing vast sums of investor capital over holdings periods as short as a few days. Still, short-term VIX ETPs like VXX tend to have a better statistical correlation and tactical exposure to the VIX than midterm product, but also tend to have position decay from contango in their futures positions.
