Russell 2000 Futures 40% ATV 5% Decrement Index
The RUTF40VD follows a rules-based dynamic allocation strategy designed to provide volatility-adjusted leveraged exposure to the performance of the Russell 2000 Futures Excess Return Index (the “Underlying Index”) based on the realized volatility of the Underlying Index, net of a daily decrement deduction.
The RUTF40VD attempts to achieve a target volatility of 40%, subject to a maximum leverage of 300%. The volatility used in the calculation of the RUTF40VD reflects the average of two exponentially-weighted moving average variances based on two different time horizons.
The decrement is 5% per annum and is deducted from the level of the index (based on the applicable percentage of the level of the RUTF40VD on the immediately preceding index calculation date) on a daily basis (the “Decrement”).
- Base currency: USD
- Realised volatility estimator is based on EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) methodology
- Index component: FTSE Russell Excess Return Index (RTYFPE Index)
- Rebalanced Daily
- Maximum Leverage: 300%
- The Index has been live since 20 Jan 2025
