Eurex VSTOXX® Futures and Options Event - Portfolio Diversification & Trading Opportunities

Mon, 12/07/2010 - 12:00

Eurex, in partnership with Barclays Capital, is pleased to invite you and your colleagues to a workshop on Eurex VSTOXX® Futures and Options. The launch of the new VSTOXX® Mini Futures (FVS) contract was on June 2, 2009 and was recently complemented by the introduction of VSTOXX® Options contracts on March 22, 2010 which has already traded over 400,000 contracts.
Numerous studies have shown that volatility is the perfect asset class for the equity fund manager as a portfolio diversification tool. The aim of this workshop is to show that volatility can also be a source of alpha for the equity fund manager as well as a portfolio diversifier. The recognition of volatility as an investable and tradeable asset class was further enhanced with the launch by Barclays Capital on April 27, 2010 of the iPath® VSTOXX® Short-Term Futures Total Return ETN.
