4 1 Overview 1.1 he HSI Volatilit Index ( VHSI ) aims to measure the 30-calendar-da expected volatilit of the Hang Seng Index ( HSI ). he expected volatilit calculated is derived from the HSI option prices traded on Hong ong Exchanges and Clearing Limited. 1. he methodolog of the VHSI is based on the Cboe Volatilit Index ( VIX ) in the US market. Modifications have been made to take into account trading characteristics of HSI options in the Hong ong market. 1.3 he VHSI is derived from HSI put options and HSI call options in the two nearest-term expiration months in order to bracket a 30-calendar-da period. 1.4 In order to minimise pricing anomalies of expiring options, options are rolled from the 1st and nd contract months to the nd and 3rd contract months on the 3rd trading da prior to the expiration of the near-term options. 1.5 A flowchart illustrating the calculation of the VHSI is given below: ear-term ext-term Determine the Forward Index Level Determine the Forward Index Level Select Relevant Options for Inclusion in the Calculation Calculate ime to Expiration Select Relevant Options for Inclusion in the Calculation Calculate the ear-term Implied Volatilit Interpolate Risk-free Rate Calculate the ext-term Implied Volatilit Interpolate 30-calendar-da Expected Volatilit VHSI
5 Management Responsibilit Hang Seng Indexes Compan Limited ( HSIL ).1 HSIL is responsible for conducting regular reviews in accordance with the Index Methodolog.. HSIL is responsible for monitoring compan announcements and making ad hoc proposals which must be approved b the Chairman of the HSI Advisor Committee if constituent changes between the regular reviews are needed..3 HSIL is responsible for seeking the HSI Advisor Committee s endorsement of an special action in cases where, due to exceptional circumstances, an index review is not conducted according to the Index Methodolog..4 HSIL is responsible for seeking the HSI Advisor Committee s endorsement of changes to the Index Methodolog. HSI Advisor Committee.5 he Committee is responsible for ensuring index reviews are undertaken in accordance with the Index Methodolog..6 he Committee is responsible for reviewing an actions proposed b HSIL in the event that, due to exceptional circumstances, an index review is not conducted according to the Index Methodolog..7 he Committee is responsible for reviewing and endorsing all changes to the Index Methodolog as proposed b HSIL..8 he Committee is responsible for giving advice on an issues related to the Index Methodolog. 3
6 3 Options Selection 3.1 For both near-term and next-term, the forward index level, F, is calculated: F + e R * (C P ) Where F forward index level the strike price at which the absolute difference between mid-prices 1 o the call and put options is the smallest time to expiration (see Appendix - 6.1) R risk-free interest rate to expiration (see Appendix - 6.) C k mid-price of the call option at strike P k mid-price of the put option at strike 3. For each of the near-term and next-term options, strike 0 is determined. It is the strike nearest the forward index level F. Both put and call options with strike price 0 are selected. 3.3 Out-of-mone call options with strike prices higher than 0 are selected. Start with call option with strike price immediatel higher than 0 and move to successivel higher strike prices. After encountering two consecutive calls with a bid price of zero, no calls with higher strikes are considered. 3.4 Out-of-mone put options with strike prices lower than 0 are selected. Start with put option with strike price immediatel lower than 0 and move to successivel lower strike prices. After encountering two consecutive puts with a bid price of zero, no puts with lower strikes are considered. 3.5 Options which are not good quotes will be excluded. A good quote is a quote with a bid price and an ask price available: Where 0 < bid price ask price; and bid/ask price of selected call options bid/ask price of the call option at 0; and bid/ask price of selected put options bid/ask price of the put option at 0 1 Mid-price is an average of bid and ask prices 4
7 4 Index Calculation Formula to Calculate Implied Volatilities 4.1 he selected near-term and next-term options are used in the following generalised formula to calculate near-term implied volatilit, σ 1, and next-term implied volatilit, σ, respectivel. σ i i i e R Q( ) i 1 F 0 1 Where σ implied volatilit time to expiration (see Appendix - 6.1) F forward index level 0 strike price nearest the forward index level, F i strike price of the i th selected option; a call if i > 0 and a put if i < 0; both put and call if i 0 Δ i interval between strike prices (see 4.) R risk-free interest rate to expiration (see Appendix - 6.) Q( i) mid-price of each option with strike i; an average mid-price of the put and call options if i 0 4. Generall, Δi is half the distance between the strike on either side of i and is calculated as: i+ 1 i 1 i Δ for the lowest strike is the difference between the lowest strike and the next higher strike. Δ for the highest strike is the difference between the highest strike and the next lower strike. 5
8 Deriving VHSI from ear-term & ext-term Implied Volatilities 4.3 he near-term implied volatilit, σ 1, and the next-term implied volatilit, σ, are interpolated to derive a single value of 30-calendar-da expected volatilit σ. he VHSI is obtained b taking the square root of σ and multipling it b 100: Where VHSI σ *100 σ 30 1σ σ σ 30-calendar-da expected volatilit σ 1 implied volatilit derived from the near-term options σ implied volatilit derived from the next-term options # of das in one ear das 1 time to expiration (in ears) of the near-term options time to expiration (in ears) of the next-term options 1 # of das to expiration of the near-term options # of das to expiration of the next-term options Rolling Convention 4.4 In order to minimise pricing anomalies of expiring options, options are rolled from the 1st and nd contract months to the nd and 3rd contract months on the 3rd trading da prior to the expiration of the 1st contract month options for calculating the VHSI. 6
9 5 Index Maintenance & Dissemination 5.1 Options data are taken b snapshot at 15-second intervals for computation. 5. Please refer to the index dissemination time ( et/static/revamp/contents/en/products/timetable_e.pdf) provided on our website for further details. 5.3 When good quotes are not sufficient due to an illiquid options market, there will be insufficient data to calculate σ 1 or σ. In such circumstances, the VHSI value will remain at the previous index value. his rule applies at all times, including opening, intrada and closing calculations (i.e. if there is insufficient data at 9:30am, the market opening, the VHSI value will remain at the previous close value until sufficient data to calculate the VHSI value becomes available). 5.4 Occasionall, the VHSI could jump up then down (or vice versa) in subsequent index ticks, due to volatile market situation. In case the calculated VHSI shows a tick-b-tick movement (either up or down) of more than 5% from the last disseminated index value, such calculated index value will be regarded as an abnormal index value and will not be disseminated, and the last disseminated index value will be used. If such abnormal index value persists for four consecutive ticks, it will be regarded as normal and will be disseminated. his treatment for abnormal index values will not be applied to the first and last index ticks of each trading session. 7
10 6 Appendix Calculating ime to Expiration 6.1 he time to expiration () is measured in ears. It is composed of three parts: 1 fractional number of das remaining until midnight of the current da number of das between current da and expir da 3 fractional number of das from midnight of da prior to expir date to expiration time # of minutes remaininguntil midnight of the current da 1 4 * 60 3 # of minutes from midnight to the expiration time 4 * Where # of das in one ear # of das to expiration of options ote: All the calendar das are counted for calculation. Interpolating Risk-free Rates 6. he HIBOR 3 1-week rate (R ), HIBOR 1-month rate (R ), and HIBOR -month rate (R m) are used to interpolate the near-term (R 1) and next-term (R ) risk-free rates. R 1 1 R 1 + R 1 R R m m + m R m m he expiration time for HSI options is 4:00 pm on the expir da, the market close of expiring contract month 3 he latest HIBOR fixing provided b the Hong ong Association of Banks 8
11 Where R 1 near-term risk-free rate R next-term risk-free rate R HIBOR 1-week rate R HIBOR 1-month rate R m HIBOR -month rate # of das in a week # of das in the das between current da and one month later m # of das in the das between current da and two months later 1 # of das to expiration of the near-term options # of das to expiration of the next-term options # of das in one ear m m ote: he interpolation works when the near-term and next-term expirations are bracketed b the 1 week ~ 1 month and 1 month ~ month maturities of HIBOR rates, respectivel. When near-term options expire less than 7 calendar das, overnight and 1-week HIBOR rates are used for near-term interpolation. When the option expirations fall outside of the corresponding HIBOR rate expirations, most likel in the rolling period (see 3.4), it ma be necessar to choose longerterm HIBOR rates to interpolate the risk-free rates. For example, if the near-term expiration is between 1 month and months, the 1-month HIBOR and -month HIBOR will be used to interpolate the near-term risk-free rate R 1; if the next-term expiration is between months and 3 months, the -month HIBOR and 3-month HIBOR will be used to interpolate the next-term riskfree rate R.
