PARK CITY, Utah — WEBs Investments Inc. (WEBs), an innovator in volatility-managed investment solutions, announces updated fund names for its Defined Volatility℠ ETF suite, effective immediately. The revised names are designed to give investors a clearer view of each fund’s underlying exposure, creating a unified structure across the entire Defined Volatility lineup.
The WEBs Defined Volatility ETFs use a systematic, rules-based approach that adjusts exposure to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), or the Select Sector SPDR ETFs based on real-time market volatility. When volatility falls below target levels, the funds increase exposure to the underlying ETFs. When volatility rises, exposure is reduced, reallocating to cash equivalents or U.S. Treasuries. This adaptive framework is designed to help investors stay invested while seeking to manage risk and maintain participation through changing market conditions.
The following fund name changes are now effective:
| Ticker | Previous Name | New Name |
