Volatility intelligence for faster pivots and calmer drawdowns.
Learn what it is, why it works, and how it helps investors manage risk, capture upside, and simplify portfolio decisions. Everything you need to act with discipline, delivered in one email.
What it is?
Equity benchmarks are hard to beat, downturns arrive suddenly, and traditional strategies are often slow to adapt.
Most investors end up lagging the S&P 500, taking on more risk than they realize, or missing the right moment to get back in.
That's where VIXSpike comes in.
Our flagship daily signal helps investors, advisors, and asset managers outperform the S&P 500 while protecting portfolios from sudden market stress. Using a proprietary volatility-based algorithm, it pinpoints optimal moments to shift between equities and defensive assets like Cash, Treasuries, or Gold - ensuring early risk management and fast participation in rebounds.
Efficient
ETF-based structure ensures liquidity, transparency, and cost efficiency — simple to follow, easy to scale.
Effortless
The strategy acts only when the signal changes (around six trades per year), requiring minimal monitoring and execution effort.
Designed for Three Investor Goals
Higher Performance
Goal
Deliver superior risk-adjusted returns compared to SPY, 60/40 portfolios, or equivalents.
Solution

Why It Works
Consistently Outperform
Benchmarks
Nearly 90% of active funds underperform the S&P 500 over 10 years. VIXSpike's signal has demonstrated 20 years of backtested outperformance.
Better Risk-Adjusted
Profile
While many multifactor funds lag in risk-adjusted returns, VIXSpike's volatility-driven approach captures upside while reducing drawdowns.
Faster Market
Adaptation
Institutional portfolios often react slowly to regime shifts. VIXSpike pivots in time, protecting capital and capturing rebounds.
Simplified Portfolio
Management
Say no to complex fund allocations. Since 2004, the VIXSpike signal has switched positions on average 6 times per year.
Periodic
Review
The VIXSpike team reviews the algorithm quarterly to ensure it adapts to current market conditions and continues performing as intended.
