WEBs Investments Inc. has announced that the names of its Defined Volatility ETFs will change effective immediately. The rebranding aligns each fund’s title with its underlying exposure and creates a unified structure across the entire lineup.
The ETF family includes the core funds DVSP (formerly DVSP‑SPY) and DVQQ (formerly DVQQ‑QQQ), as well as 11 sector‑specific ETFs launched on July 23, 2025: DVRE (Real Estate), DVUT (Utilities), DVXC (Consumer Staples), DVXK (Consumer Discretionary), DVXF (Financials), DVXV (Health Care), DVXP (Industrials), DVXY (Materials), DVIN (Information Technology), DVXB (Communication Services), and DVXE (Energy). All tickers are listed on NASDAQ.
Each fund follows a rules‑based, active‑management strategy that adjusts exposure to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), or the relevant Select Sector SPDR ETF based on real‑time market volatility. When volatility falls below target levels, the fund increases exposure to the underlying ETF and, during low‑volatility periods, uses total‑return swaps to amplify exposure. When volatility rises, the fund reduces exposure and shifts assets to cash equivalents or U.S. Treasuries.
Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. provides operational and distribution support for the ETFs, while Foreside Fund Services, LLC handles distribution. Syntax continues to provide index‑design support for the Defined Volatility ETFs. The funds are passively listed on NASDAQ but are managed with a hybrid approach that blends systematic rules with active adjustments.
The name changes are part of WEBs’ broader effort to enhance transparency and investor understanding of its volatility‑managed products. The rebranding takes effect immediately, as announced in the company’s press release.
WEBs Investments Inc., founded in 2025 by ETF industry veterans Ben Fulton, Keith Cunningham, Kevin Rich, and Tony Trevisan, remains focused on developing innovative volatility‑managed investment solutions.
