4 CBOE Volatility Index VIX Calculation The CBOE Volatility Index is based on SPX option prices The next two standard (third Friday) option series that have at least 8 days to expiration contribute to the formula The formula inputs all out of the money put and call options that are actively quoted Using a complex formula a hypothetical S&P 500 Index option that expires in 30 days is created The implied volatility of this hypothetical option is what is quoted as VIX Historically VIX has had an interesting relationship with the S&P 500 CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 4

10 Behavior of Implied Volatility Mean Reversion Implied volatility is a range-bound measure At times there may be some extreme moves But generally Implied Volatility oscillates around a mean In time A move up in VIX is usually followed by a drop A long period of complacency in VIX is usually followed by a spike CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 10

18 VIX Futures Summary There is no fair value or arbitrage relationship between VIX and VIX futures prices VIX futures pricing reflects a combination of a risk premium for short sellers and the outlook that results in a VIX oscillating around an average price The front month future has historically had a close pricing relationship with price changes in the underlying VIX CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 18
19 VIX Options Description VIX options are cash settled index options similar to SPX option contracts These options share a settlement value with VIX Futures that share an expiration date They also share the same forward volatility measure for valuation purposes Due to this valuation metric, VIX options may appear to be mispriced.

21 VIX Options Long Theta Trade (Own Options Make Money with Time) January 4, 2013 VIX at Outlook is for equity market to continue to trend upward and volatility to stay relatively low Forecast expects VIX to be unchanged into April Decide to take a look at a bearish VIX position and maybe buy a VIX April Put Buy 1 VIX Apr CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 21

24 VIX Options Summary Before trading VIX index options, be sure to understand the pricing and valuation of those options The difference between the underlying futures and VIX index may dictate a trade or strategy The leverage from the futures market can also be beneficial for VIX option trades CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 24
25 VIX Strategy ETPs Introduction There is a wide variety of VIX-related strategies that are offered as either an Exchange Traded Note or Exchange Traded Fund The first exchange traded product that follows a VIX strategy was the ipath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) Since then there have been several other VIX-related ETNs introduced in the US VIX Exchange Traded Products are not direct investments in the VIX Index CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 25

30 VIX Strategy ETPs VXX Trade Tuesday October 8, 2013 VXX closed at It was up about 20% over five trading days based on the most recent crisis in Washington, DC A trader felt this 20% rise in VXX was unwarranted and that the ETP should follow a pattern of reverting back to lower levels Based on this outlook they consider a bear call spread with short dated options CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 30

34 VIX Strategy ETPs Summary Be aware that VIX Exchange Traded Products base their performance on a strategy and not the index Often these ETPs will change in value even if VIX is flat At times, the ETP may even move in the opposite direction than a trader would expect This is due to the ETPs being based on futures strategies and not directly holding the VIX index CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 34
35 Something New VXST The CBOE Short-term Volatility Index SM (VXST SM ) was introduced on October 1 st at the CBOE Risk Management Conference It is a measure of nine-day implied volatility as indicated by SPX option pricing Historically VXST has a wider range and has been more volatile than VIX CBOE has daily closing numbers for VXST going back to January CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 35

38 Volatility as an Asset Class Summary VIX has historically had an inverse relationship with the S&P 500 VIX options and futures both give traders an easy and efficient method of gaining exposure to market volatility The exchange traded products based on VIX focus on a strategy and not replicating the spot VIX index VXST has been out about a month and is generating a lot of attention from VIX traders CBOE OPTIONS INSTITUTE 38
