Volatility derivatives and volatility indexes : an overview

Abstract

Nas últimas décadas, os derivados financeiros têm-se revestido de grande importância, como se deduz facilmente do facto de o número de transações nos mercados financeiros envolvendo este tipo de instrumentos apresentar grande crescimento. De entre a grande variedade de derivados, destaca-se, para efeitos deste trabalho, uma classe particular, a classe dos derivados sobre volatilidade, que têm sido objeto de estudo na última década, talvez devido ao papel relativamente significativo que vêm assumindo a nível dos principais mercados. Intimamente ligados aos derivados sobre volatilidade estão os índices sobre volatilidade, também aqui objeto de análise. O presente estudo consiste essencialmente na revisão possível, dadas as restrições de espaço, da vasta literatura que já existe sobre o tema, o que se procurará fazer ao longo de todo o texto. Adicionalmente, procurará levar-se a cabo uma pesquisa do impacte da última crise financeira e económica no volume de negócios com derivados sobre volatilidade, para o que se selecionará um particular tipo de produtos. Do levantamento realizado sobre os tópicos em questão, pareceu poder concluir-se que estes não suscitaram antes o interesse de estudiosos portugueses. Nesse sentido, será então este o primeiro contributo, ainda que modesto, para preencher a lacuna.

During the last few decades, financial derivatives became extremely important, a conclusion easily derived from the fact that the number of transactions involving such instruments has greatly increased in financial markets. A specific type of these products consists of the so-called volatility derivatives, which have been quite studied during the last few years and are now of great significance, having experienced a growing role in the world financial markets. Closely related to volatility derivatives are the volatility indexes. This study is based mostly on a review of the literature on the subject of volatility derivatives and volatility indexes, which is presented all over the text. Additionally, an attempt is made to analyze the impact of the current economic and financial crises on volatility derivatives trading, specifically in reference to certain particular futures. To the best knowledge of the author the topic of volatility futures has not been addressed before in the Masters in Finance context; this thesis is, in that sense, a first (very small) contribution to fill the gap.
