The term structure of equity option implied volatility
This paper investigates the relationship between the slope of the implied volatility (IV) term structure and future option returns. In Fama-Macbeth regressions we demonstrate that implied volatility slopes are positively correlated with future returns on short-term at-the-month straddles. A strategy that buys straddles with high IV slopes and short sells straddles with low IV slopes returns sev...
متن کاملMarket Timing with Option-Implied Distributions: A Forward-Looking Approach
We address the empirical implementation of the static asset allocation problem by developing a forward-looking approach that uses information from market option prices. To this end, constant maturity S&P 500 implied distributions are extracted and subsequently transformed to the corresponding risk-adjusted ones. Then, we form optimal portfolios consisting of a risky and a risk-free asset and ev...
متن کاملOption-Implied Correlations, Factor Models, and Market Risk∗
Implied correlation and variance risk premium stand out in predicting market returns. However, while the predictive ability of implied correlation lasts for up to a year, the variance risk premium predicts market returns only for one quarter ahead. Contrary to the accepted view, implied correlation predicts the market return not through a diversification risk (average correlation) channel, but ...
متن کاملOption-Implied Term Structures
The illiquidity of long-maturity options has made it difficult to study the term structures of option spanning portfolios. This paper proposes a new estimation and inference framework for these option-implied term structures that addresses long-maturity illiquidity. By building a sieve estimator around the risk-neutral valuation equation, the framework theoretically justifies (fattailed) extrap...
متن کاملOption-Implied Currency Risk Premia
We use cross-sectional information on the prices of G10 currency options to calibrate a non-Gaussian model of pricing kernel dynamics and construct estimates of conditional currency risk premia. We find that the mean historical returns to short dollar and carry factors (HMLFX ) are statistically indistinguishable from their option-implied counterparts, which are free from peso problems. Skewnes...
