SVOL: Portfolio Retreats From Equities After Failed Recovery, But Correction May Reoccur

  • SVOL's portfolio is now more conservative, shifting from leveraged equities to bonds, reducing downside risk in future corrections. The VIX term structure has normalized to contango, allowing SVOL to generate higher premiums and sustain a yield near 20%. Despite improved positioning, I remain speculatively bearish on SVOL due to overvalued US stocks and persistent macroeconomic risks.
