EFAV Forecast 2026: Price Target, Outlook and What Analysts Expect

EFAV holds futures on the VIX volatility index. When markets are calm, later-dated futures usually cost more than the expiring ones, so rolling them forward loses money month after month; that drag is why volatility funds tend to fall over long periods and only pay off in sharp sell-offs.

Over the past year EFAV's price changed +10.8%, and over three years it averaged +16.1% a year. Those figures describe one path through the market; a different path with the same start and end would have produced a different result.

At a yield of about 3.13% as of October 2026, a $10,000 position in EFAV would pay roughly $313 a year. That is the current run rate; actual distributions change with what the holdings pay. For the payout history and schedule, see EFAV dividend: yield and schedule.

History tells you how EFAV has behaved, which is useful for sizing a position. It does not tell you what comes next, and periods of strong returns are often followed by weaker ones.

No published one. Analysts do not forecast ETFs, and the targets on the companies inside a fund run about twelve months. Any 2030 figure for EFAV is a past return projected forward.

What is certain is the cost. At 0.20% a year, about $20 on every $10,000 every year, it comes off whatever the holdings earn, in good years and bad. Across funds that track similar things, that is one of the few differences you can know in advance.

Volatility itself is the main input. A strong, steady trend in the direction EFAV is built for works in its favour; a choppy market works against it every day, even if the underlying ends where it started. Holding period matters as much as direction, which is why the issuer describes it as a trading product rather than a long-term holding.

How to read this page: the analyst figures describe expectations for the holdings, not for the fund; the yield describes current income, not total return; the history describes one path through the market, not the next one. The cost is the only line that is known in advance.
