The Price Impact of VIX ETPs’ Rolling
This paper explains why various VIX Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) with long positions of VIX futures have lost a significant amount since their introduction starting in 2009. Empirical evidence is provided to support the hypothesis that price impact due to mechanical rolling activity of VIX ETPs contributes to the catastrophic loss. It is estimated that short-term un-levered VIX ETPs with dir...
متن کاملBounds for VIX futures given S&P 500 smiles
We derive sharp bounds for the prices of VIX futures using the full information of S&P 500 smiles. To that end, we formulate the model-free sub/superreplication of the VIX by trading in the S&P 500 and its vanilla options as well as the forward-starting log-contracts. A dual problem of minimizing/maximizing certain risk-neutral expectations is introduced and shown to yield the same value. The c...
متن کاملGalois Connections with Hedges
We introduce (fuzzy) Galois connections with hedges. Fuzzy Galois connections are basic structures behind so-called formal concept analysis of data with fuzzy attributes. Introducing hedges to Galois connections means introducing two parameters. The parameters influence the size of the set of all the fixpoints of a Galois connection. In the sense of formal concept analysis, the fixpoints, calle...
متن کاملExplaining the Negative Returns to Volatility Claims: An Equilibrium Approach
We study the returns to investing in VIX futures and VIX Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs). We document a substantial negative return premium for both ETNs and the futures. For example, the a constant maturity portfolio of one-month VIX futures loses about 30% per year over our sample period (2006-2013). We propose an equilibrium model to explain these negative returns. In this model, increases in v...
متن کاملLinguistic Logics with Hedges
Human knowledge is commonly expressed linguistically, i.e., truth of vague sentences is given in linguistic terms, and many hedges are often used simultaneously to state different levels of emphasis. In this paper, we propose an axiomatization of mathematical fuzzy logic with many hedges where each hedge does not have any dual one. Then, we present linguistic logics built based on the proposed ...
