    Sammanfattning : The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) is known as being an indicator of fear, often referred to as the fear index. Low volatility indicates tranquility in the market, whereas high volatility indicates distress. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Consistent pricing of VIX options

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Wilhelm Ålander; [2020]
    Nyckelord :VIX; Option pricing; Fourier methods.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is an extension from the thesis "To what degree is the VIX benchmark computed by CBOE representative of its definition?" presented on June 16 in 2018. The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate a consistent way of Fourier pricing with the Heston model and whether or not the estimates can be improved by extending the amount of CIR processes in order to catch the non-linear behavior of VIX options.

  5. 4. Trading Volatility : Trading strategies based on the VIX term structure.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates how term structure dynamics of VIX futures can be exploited forabnormal returns. To be able to access volatility as a tradeable asset, the trading strategiesonly trades ETFs which are designed to replicate the movements of VIX futures index. LÄS MER

  7. 5. To what degree is the VIX benchmark computed by CBOE representative of its definition?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Patrik Liedbeck; Wilhlem Ålander; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this paper is through an empirical approach understand the dynamics of VIX and investigate to what degree the benchmark computed by CBOE is representative of its definition. The method implemented is of a design where one constructs a hypothetical world in which synthetic options data are produced by the Bates-Heston model. LÄS MER
