VXXB Factset Analytics Insight
VXXB is among the largest and most liquid volatility ETPs, and is one of a handful that offer short-term VIX futures exposure. Two immediate 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 VXXB generally make better tools for tactical exposure to the VIX than midterm products (short-term means 1-month average term VIX futures). They tend to have a better statistical correlation to the VIX, but also lose more money from contango in their futures positions. VXXB’s performance is basically indistinguishable from its short-term peers, but its excellent trading volume makes it the trader's choice. As an ETN, VXXB is backed by Barclay’s credit rather than by assets.VXXB is a replacement (“Series B”) for VXX. The new note provides identical exposure with some structural changes, including an issuer call feature, reduced expense ratio, non-path-dependent fee structure, maturity 30 years from issuance, and the ability to split shares if necessary.

VXXB Expected Decay
Expected decay estimates the annualized impact on returns solely from the futures term structure. A positive number implies an expected loss attributable to the term structure and a negative number implies an expected gain attributable to the term structure. Decay–to–spot compares weighted average futures contract prices with the spot VIX value. It also assumes a constant spot VIX level. Decay–to–preceding compares weighted average futures price levels with those immediately preceding on the curve, assuming that the shape of the curve is constant.
