Index Annualized Volatility Compared to its Parent Index

The following graph provides a comparison of the annualized volatility of the S&P 500^® Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index and the S&P 500^® Index from January 3, 2017 through November 14, 2022 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels, as described above). In the graph, historical annualized volatility can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. For each day, annualized volatility is a measure of the historical variability of returns, and is calculated as the square root of 252 multiplied by the sample standard deviation of the daily logarithmic returns of the index during a 60 business day look-back period. You should not take the hypothetical or historical annualized volatility of the indices as an indication of the future performance of any index, including the S&P 500^® Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index.

Index Volatility Spread

The following graph shows the percentage difference in the annualized volatility of the index compared to the S&P 500^® Index from January 3, 2017 through November 14, 2022 (using hypothetical performance data and historical closing levels, as described above). In the graph, historical annualized volatility can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. For each day, annualized volatility is a measure of the historical variability of returns, and is calculated as the square root of 252 multiplied by the sample standard deviation of the daily logarithmic returns of the index during a 60 business day look-back period. The index is intended to provide investors with leveraged exposure to the S&P 500^® Index based on a dynamic volatility target. The dynamic volatility target is the applicable realized volatility of the S&P 500^® Index plus 10%. However, because of how the leverage factor is calculated, there is a lag of two index calculation days between the measurement of realized volatility of the S&P 500^® Index and the calculation of the leverage factor. Therefore, the index will not reflect the most current volatility of the S&P 500^® Index and the realized volatility of the index will not always be exactly 10% higher than the realized volatility of the S&P 500^® Index. You should not take the hypothetical or historical annualized volatility of the indices as an indication of the future performance of any index, including the S&P 500^® Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control Index.

The S&P 500^® Index has been adjusted to have a closing level of 100.00 on January 3, 2017 by dividing the applicable closing level on each day by the S&P 500^® Index’s closing level on January 3, 2017 and multiplying the quotient by 100.00. In the graph, historical data can be found to the right of the vertical solid line marker. The percentage of index exposure to the S&P 500^® Index on November 14, 2022 is 134%.
