5 Breaking the Law of Put / Call Parity? Despite high correlation, CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Index (PUTR SM ) substantially outperforms CBOE Russell 2000 BuyWrite Index (BXR SM ) Differences in methodology between the PUTR and BXR matter a great deal and explain the performance difference RUT BXR PUTR SPX BXM PUT Data provided January 31, 2001 through November 15, 2017 Source: Cboe Multi Asset Solutions 5

7 Exploring BXR & PUTR Methodology Differences Strike prices for RUT call and put options are not the same Call strike for BXR just above RUT level at 11 a.m. ET; call is slightly out of the money Put strike for PUTR just below RUT level at 11 a.m. ET; put is slightly out of the money PUTR put implied volatility is consistently higher than BXR call implied volatility Option Roll Mechanics & Expiration Day Effects Historically, SOQ for index options has exhibited an upward bias Dealers, market makers tend to be sellers of index puts and buyers of index calls, making them long the market Unwinding hedges at expiration tends to create buy imbalances in stocks Footnotes applied here 7
8 Expiration Day Effects Expiration Day Return Calculation BXR R BXR, EXP = R A x R B x R C ;where R A = Return from previous close to SOQ R B = Return from SOQ to VWAP option sale long stock position uncovered R C = Return from VWAP option sale to expiration day close BXR PUTR R PUTR, EXP = R A x R GAP x R B ;where R A = Return from previous close to SOQ R GAP = Period from SOQ to VWAP option sale cash position uncovered R B = Return from VWAP option sale to expiration day close PUTR R A (Option On) 0.081% 0.058% R B or R GAP (Option Off) % R C (Option On) 0.089% 0.039% Expiration Day Return - R % 0.097% Analysis based on data from May 2006 through August 2017 Source: Cboe Multi Asset Solutions 8
9 CBOE Applied Academics TYVIX/VIX - based Asset Rotation Strategy (Stabilis)
10 Origin of Stabilis CBOE/CBOT 10-Year US Treasury Note Volatility Index (TYVIX) TYVIX is the conceptual analogue of VIX for the US Treasury market: a transparent benchmark measuring the fair market value of constant 30-day forward volatility of the benchmark 10-year US Treasury Note futures prices implied by options on 10-year US Treasury Note futures Morgan Stanley High Yield + Index (ticker: MSUSHP5T Index ) A long-only, rules-based strategy which aims to generate a return by applying dynamic allocation between the ishares iboxx H/Y Corporate Bond Fund (ticker: HYG), ishares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (ticker: TLT) and a Cash Rate. 1 CBOE Applied Academics TYVIX/VIX - based Asset Rotation Strategy (Stabilis) Stabilis is a conceptual analogue to the Morgan Stanley High Yield+ Index that applies a dynamic allocation between SPDR S&P 500 ETF (ticker: SPY), ishares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (ticker: AGG), ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (ticker: IEF) and cash based on the levels of VIX and TYVIX. It is beneficial to use implied volatility indices for timing asset allocation because the relative movement of equity and bond implied volatilities has historically predicted the relative performance among major asset classes. 1MORGAN STANLEY HIGH YIELD+ INDEX SUPPLEMENT (To Prospectus dated November 19, 2014)); Registration Statement No
11 Volatility Regimes: Separating markets by volatility regimes A simple high/low volatility regime model effectively captures VIX spikes. The regimes are defined based on upward- and downwardcrossings of rolling upper and lower quantiles of VIX and TYVIX. More details can be found at: Source: S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, CBOE, Applied Academics LLC. 11
12 ANNUALIZED RETURN 03/ /2017 Combined VIX and TYVIX Regimes: Return separation FOR EACH REGIME The simple volatility regimes effectively separate returns in an economically intuitive way. In the LL ( normal ) regime, equities perform best, followed by corporates then Treasuries, and the order is reversed in the HH regime. In the HL regime, equities perform well while fixed income does not, and Treasuries do better than corporates in the LH regime.
