Volatility Premium ETF: what the data says

An actively managed Simplify ETF targeting fractional, inverse daily exposure (roughly -0.2x/-0.3x) to short-term VIX futures, generating income by effectively selling volatility 'insurance' via options and futures. It's a complex instrument for those betting volatility will stay contained, but it can suffer sharp, fast losses during sudden market shocks — exactly when such a bet goes wrong.
