Description:

Dr. Black will discuss strategies that are most effective when hedging market volatility, including an empirical study on the use of VIX futures.  

Adding long positions in the VIX index has proven effective at reducing the risk of long position in equity markets or hedge fund investments. Now that futures on the VIX index have been trading for more than five years, the data is available to evaluate the portfolio characteristics of adding position in the VIX futures to a portfolio. The cost and hedging effectiveness varies substantially with the contract selection within the VIX futures market.
