MSVX pursues its objective by estimating the direction of the US equity market. Based on these estimates, the funds manager will take long or short positions in the S&P 500 Index and CBOE Volatility Index futures and options. The strategy relies on proprietary statistical models to quantify market risk by comparing 30-day and 90-day implied volatility indexes and VIX futures. Daily net portfolio exposure to the S&P 500 Index and/or the VIX Index will be long or short, or in cash. The exposure will be based on estimates for the direction and strength of discretionary market signals.
