What are the indexes?
The Nasdaq-100 Futures 30% Volatility Compass 6% Decrement Index is designed to provide exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Futures Excess Return™ Index (NDXNQER) while targeting a 30% level of volatility. The Index uses an intraday volatility control mechanism for drawdown control with the aim of capturing significant intraday swings that might not be reflected in close-to-close observations. The Index rebalances at the end of each day using NDXNQER closing prices.
