Technical Analysis 
Basically they hold the S&P 500 index, but in addition, they can leg in and out of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). When the VIX index starts picking up, it is usually when the market is selling off. This ETF will go into the VIX as the market starts to round over. This allows you to play the S&P 500 and the US market, but it gives you a little bit of downside protection as well.
