VSTOXX® Derivatives
Use our VSTOXX® Futures and Options on the VSTOXX® index to take a view on European volatility.
It is designed to reflect the investor sentiment and overall economic uncertainty by measuring the 30-day implied volatility of the EURO STOXX 50®, offering the most accurate and cost-effective way to have access to European volatility.
Unlike trading volatility with hedged index options, there are no transaction costs in managing deltas for VSTOXX® derivatives. They are exchange-traded and centrally cleared, providing independent mark-to-market valuation and robust liquidity.
