To be the global standard for volatility indices and financial signals, pioneering innovative, data-driven tools that enhance decision-making, promote market stability, and create enduring value for investors worldwide.
Offering
Our offerings include bespoke ETFs tailored to specific risk-reward profiles, leveraging the FIX Index to exit early from market volatility. These ETFs are designed for both institutional and sophisticated individual investors seeking low-risk strategies or advanced options with leverage and derivatives.
Beyond ETFs, FIX Index Global provides real-time FIX Index data through a subscription model, enabling financial institutions to access real-time volatility insights across multiple indices. Looking forward, we plan to expand into the futures and options (F&O) market, allowing direct trading on volatility through FIX Index-based contracts.
