Equity Armor Investments Announces the Live Dissemination of the ARMOR and USARM Indexes
Chicago, Il (PRWEB) May 22, 2014 -- Equity Armor Investments, LLC, an SEC registered investment advisory based in Chicago, announced the publication of two new indexes under the symbol ARMOR and USARM. The ARMOR Index calculates an investable, long volatility position that seeks a high correlation with the VIX (S&P 500 Volatility Index), over all time frames, by searching for relative value between VIX futures (S&P 500 Volatility Futures) and S&P 500 Index options. The ARMOR index was designed to provide an alternative to existing methods of buying volatility and a means to hedging equity exposure, while the USARM combines a large cap equity portfolio with the ARMOR in order to create a portfolio that holds an imbedded hedge to equity exposure, rebalanced monthly.
The ARMOR and USARM indexes are calculated in real time and disseminated to Bloomberg and Thompson Reuters for distribution every 15 seconds. Historical data is also available through these outlets and those websites that pickup such price feeds.
