Implied Volatility of Leveraged ETF Options
This paper studies the problem of understanding implied volatilities from options written on leveraged exchanged-traded funds (LETFs), with an emphasis on the relations between options on LETFs with different leverage ratios. We first examine from empirical data the implied volatility surfaces for LETFs based on the S&P 500 index, and we introduce the concept of moneyness scaling to enhance the...
متن کاملCrooked Volatility Smiles: Evidence from Leveraged and Inverse ETF Options
We find that leverage in exchange traded funds (ETFs) can affect the “crookedness” of volatility smiles. This observation is consistent with the intuition that return shocks are inversely correlated with volatility shocks – resulting in more expensive out-of-the-money put options and less expensive out-of-the-money call options. We show that the prices of options on leveraged and inverse ETFs c...
متن کاملPath-Dependence of Leveraged ETF Returns
It is well-known that leveraged exchange-traded funds (LETFs) don’t reproduce the corresponding multiple of index returns over extended (quarterly or annual) investment horizons. In 2008, most leveraged ETFs underperformed the corresponding static strategies. In this paper, we study this phenomenon in detail. We give an exact formula linking the return of a leveraged fund with the corresponding...
متن کاملETF Arbitrage under Liquidity Mismatch∗
A natural liquidity mismatch emerges when liquid exchange traded funds (ETFs) hold relatively illiquid assets. We provide a theory and empirical evidence showing that this liquidity mismatch can reduce market efficiency and increase the fragility of these ETFs. We focus on corporate bond ETFs and examine the role of authorized participants (APs) in ETF arbitrage. In addition to their role as de...
متن کاملCommonality in ETF Mispricing and Contagion
A common component in the mispricing of ETFs can arise from limits to arbitrage. I find strong evidence of commonality among of international country ETFs. Differences in systematic risk between an ETF and its underlying index can explain some of this effect. While non-synchronicity alone cannot explain it, it does amplify the effect. I then investigate whether this commonality can be a channel...
