Thank you for contacting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
We appreciate you informing us of your concerns regarding the CBOE Volatility Index and ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY). The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA) processes many comments received from individual investors and others. We keep records of the correspondence we receive in a searchable database that SEC staff may make use of in inspections, examinations, and investigations. In addition, some correspondence received by OIEA is referred directly to other SEC offices and divisions for their review. If they have any questions or wish to respond directly to your comments, they will contact you.
Regarding your request about an investigation, please note that the SEC conducts its investigations on a confidential and nonpublic basis and neither confirms nor denies the existence of an investigation unless the SEC brings charges against someone involved. We do this to protect the integrity and effectiveness of our investigative process and to preserve the privacy of the individuals and entities involved. As a result, we will be unable to confirm whether an investigation exists or provide you with any updates on the status of your complaint or of any pending SEC investigation. You may wish to check our website, www.sec.gov, for information about pending SEC civil actions, administrative cases, and other matters.
If you have additional questions, please contact me by reply email (help@sec.gov).
Sincerely,
Theresa Nguyen
Attorney
Office of Investor Education and Advocacy
