The course starts by analysing the role of volatility in the current financial markets including the causes and impact of volatility smiles on a variety of financial products. This leads into sessions on the application of a range of volatility derivatives such as volatility futures and options, tradeable volatility products such as VXX, and volatility swaps. The final part of the programme covers the treatment of volatility in the more popular stochastic volatility models used in the industry such as SABR and Heston and provides insights into the most relevant approaches to modelling volatility under current market conditions.
