According to RCM Investments website, C-Tracks Citi Volatility Index TR ETN is one of top 10 worst performing ETFs, down 82.10% in a twelve month period.

The exposure offered by CVOL is multi-faceted; this ETN combines directional exposure to the implied volatility of large cap U.S. stocks through positions in third- and fourth-month futures contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index with short exposure to the S&P 500 Total Return Index. The fund has apparently been struggling since 2012.

Unfortunately for investors in May 2016, Citigroup Inc. early redeemed its C-Tracks Exchange-Traded Notes Based on the Citi Volatility Index Total Return Due November 12, 2020.The last day of trading for CVOL was May 23, 2016.

According to the prospectus, the ETNs are intended to be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily trading risks. They are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily basis, but their performance over different periods of time can differ significantly from their stated daily objectives. The ETNs are riskier than securities that have intermediate- or long-term investment objectives, and may not be suitable for investors who plan to hold them for a period other than one day.

C-Tracks Citi Volatility Index TR ETN is a short term investment and should be traded as such.  Unfortunately, though, some advisors that recommended the C-Tracks Citi Volatility Index TR ETN fund failed to understand its short term nature and recommended that investors buy and hold the fund.
