The table below compares the performance and other essential indicators like dividend yield and expense ratio of 8 Volatility ETFs.

Volatility ETFs are exchange-traded funds that aim to provide exposure to the volatility of financial markets, as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) or other volatility indices. The VIX, also known as the "fear index," measures the market's expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 index over the next 30 days.

Volatility ETFs typically use derivatives such as options and futures to gain exposure to the VIX or other volatility indices. The ETFs can be used as a tool for hedging against market downturns or as a way to profit from market volatility.

However, it's important to note that volatility ETFs can be complex and may not always move in the direction investors expect. They are also subject to the risk of tracking error, which occurs when the returns of the ETF deviate from the returns of the underlying index or benchmark.
