VelocityShares was a financial services company known for creating and sponsoring sophisticated exchange-traded products (ETPs), particularly leveraged and inverse exchange-traded notes (ETNs) designed for short-term trading strategies. In 2014, the company was acquired by Janus Capital Group, which later merged to become Janus Henderson Investors. Today, the VelocityShares brand continues to exist as a suite of ETNs, primarily issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and distributed by Janus Distributors LLC, focusing on volatility and commodity markets.
