Insights
Index targets a 5% volatility via dynamic cash overlay; historical 10‑year volatility ~5.05%.
The index applies a risk‑control overlay that reduces exposure to the S&P 500 during higher volatility periods and increases it when volatility falls, with returns calculated on an excess return basis. The update lists key metrics including 1.07% (1‑yr) and a 4.11% 10‑year annualized return with a 0.81 Sharpe ratio.
Dependencies include the methodology for the notional financing cost and the daily exposure adjustments; the supplement notes the financing‑cost deduction and a recent methodology change. Subsequent term sheets or disclosure supplements may supersede this document.
Supplement compares the Index to two hypothetical 30/70 notional portfolios and highlights that results are hypothetical and not guaranteed.
The Domestic and Global 30/70 portfolios are shown for context (Feb 2016–Feb 2026) with differing returns and volatilities; the domestic portfolio reports a 10‑year volatility of 6.31% and the global portfolio shows a 10‑year volatility of 6.17%. The document emphasizes that these notional portfolios use different assets and rebalance on different schedules than the Index.
Key items to watch in future filings: any revised methodology for the notional financing cost, and replacement term sheets or disclosure supplements that the document says will govern in case of inconsistency.
