VIX success drives vol market forward

After more than 10 years since futures on the VIX began trading on the CBOE Futures Exchange, GlobalCapital Derivatives hosted a roundtable with senior buyside and exchange officials to look at how the exchange-traded and over-the-counter volatility markets have progressed in recent years. The topics of discussion included whether volatility has reached a point where it can be considered an asset class, implementation considerations for investors looking to allocate to volatility and persistent low liquidity in European and Asian volatility products.
