Volatility Views 131: Breaking Down VolDex, SkewDex and TailDex

Volatility Viewpoint: Today’s guest is Scott Nations, president and chief investment officer NationsShares. NationsShares and ISE have partnered on a new volatility product – Voldex. He discusses:

  • Why is this methodology superior to the current VIX methodology?
  • How would Voldex have performed over this crazy week period compared to VIX?
  • Why do we need this product?
  • Does he expect traders to abandon VIX for this or instead using it as a spreading tool?
  • An overview of two new planned additional products, Skewdex and Taildex.
