dc.description.abstract | In this paper I construct a model-free implied volatility index, SVIX, from OMXS30
options based on a variance replication technique, independent of any option pricing
model. The SVIX index exhibits several stylized properties of volatility indices such as
long memory components, mean reversion and volatility clustering. The relationship
between OMXS30 returns and SVIX is negative, with some indication of an asymmetric
component. There is some evidence that implied volatility, represented among other
by SVIX, is superior to historical volatility in predicting future volatility and there
is a contemporaneous volatility transmission between VIX and SVIX. In addition, I
construct another index, SSVIX, based on simple variance swap replication which can
be hedged and priced even if we allow for jumps in the underlying asset. | sv |
