Abstract

We analyze the VIX futures market with a focus on the exchange-traded notes written on such contracts, in particular we investigate the VXX notes tracking the short-end part of the futures term structure. Inspired by recent developments in commodity smile modelling, we present a multi-factor stochastic-local volatility model that is able to jointly calibrate plain-vanilla options both on VIX futures and VXX notes, thus going beyond the failure of purely stochastic or simply local-volatility models. We discuss numerical results on real market data by highlighting the impact of model parameters on implied volatilities.
