The S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures Index measures the movements of a combination of CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) futures and is designed to track changes in the expectation for VIX five months in the future. The Index maintains an average weighted settlement date of five months in the future by rolling a portion of the position in the fourth month VIX futures contract into the seventh month VIX futures contract on a daily basis. The VIX is a commonly followed measure of the expected volatility of the S&P 500 over the next 30 days.
