Steady VIX 2025 Strategy Performance vs. SPY The Steady VIX 2025 strategy outperformed SPY in 2025 after closing out today’s trades. Performance Comparison: • SPY returned approximately 17.x% as of its latest level around 683. • Steady VIX 2025 finished with 20.4% total returns after including today’s closed trades. This outperformance is particularly noteworthy given that 2025 featured multiple significant VIX spikes — most notably during the April volatility surge that many market participants will remember for years. Despite these periods of elevated uncertainty, the strategy was often only half-allocated, yet still managed to outperform SPY. Trades like those executed in the Steady VIX 2025 strategy — in addition to a regular long-only portfolio — materially boosted overall returns. Also I wanted to mention, Allocation wise, we didn't over allocate, didn't take risky positions as much as possible. HALF allocation most of the time was highly conservative from our side. If someone had 1-2% better entry price as limit to enter the trade, I think most of the time there was BETTER PRICING for all the trades that we entered. So I won't be surprised folks getting 25% returns on SteadyVIX as well.
