Yesterday, AccuShares Investment Management announced that it would be closing its four ETFs and that their last day of trading will be Sept. 8.

The funds are as follows:

- [AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares (VXUP)](https://www.etf.com/vxup)
- [AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Down Shares (VXDN)](https://www.etf.com/vxdn)
- [AccuShares S&amp;P GSCI Crude Oil Excess Return Down Shares (OILD)](https://www.etf.com/oild)
- [AccuShares S&amp;P GSCI Crude Oil Excess Return Up Shares (OILU)](https://www.etf.com/oilu)

The VIX pair launched in May 2015; each has less than $1 million in assets under management. The oil pair launched in late June, and each fund has gathered more than $2 million.

The AccuShares are designed to launch in pairs, with the “Up” shares providing long exposure and the “Down” shares offering the inverse. Each pair of funds moves like a teeter totter.

The closures of the AccuShares will push the total so far for 2016 to above 75.
