Implied Volatility of Leveraged ETF Options
This paper studies the problem of understanding implied volatilities from options written on leveraged exchanged-traded funds (LETFs), with an emphasis on the relations between options on LETFs with different leverage ratios. We first examine from empirical data the implied volatility surfaces for LETFs based on the S&P 500 index, and we introduce the concept of moneyness scaling to enhance the...
متن کاملEstimation of Options Implied Volatility Curve
• This document describes how I used mathematical methods for the estimation of implied volatility curve, a crucial engineering problem raised in our High Frequency Trading (HFT) strategy. I apologize for using many of jargons and unformatted figures. This is because the materials were not prepared for an academic purpose, but just for internal usage. • All data used in this document are about ...
متن کاملNo-Arbitrage Condition of Option Implied Volatility and Bandwidth Selection
A standard approach to option pricing is based on Black-Scholes type (BS hereafter) models utilizing the no-arbitrage argument of complete markets. However, there are several crucial assumptions, such as that the option underlying log-returns follow normal distribution, there is unique and deterministic riskless rate as well as the volatility of underlying log-returns. Since the assumptions are...
متن کاملRelative Arbitrage in Volatility-stabilized Markets
We provide simple, easy-to-test criteria for the existence of relative arbitrage in equity markets. These criteria postulate essentially that the excess growth rate of the market portfolio, a positive quantity that can be estimated or even computed from a given market structure, be “sufficiently large”. We show that conditions which satisfy these criteria are manifestly present in the U.S. equi...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Implied Volatility Surface for Options on a Diversified Index
This paper describes a two-factor model for a diversified index that attempts to explain both the leverage effect and the implied volatility skews that are characteristic of index options. Our formulation is based on an analysis of the growth optimal portfolio and a corresponding random market activity time where the discounted growth optimal portfolio is expressed as a time transformed squared...
