VXX remains the largest ETP in the Volatility category despite broad criticism of its utility, with $1.03 billion in assets under management. XIV falls next in line, with more than $536 million under management. ProShares entered this category largely in late 2011, and their entries seem to be reeling in assets slowly but surely, as UVXY, VIXY (ProShares VIX Short Term Futures ETF, Expense Ratio 0.85%), and SVXY have collected amassed $516 million to date.
A total of seventeen ETPs exist presently in the marketplace, although the lion’s share of the assets under management is greatly skewed toward the three largest funds (VXX, XIV, UVXY) in the category.
