Unlocking Volatility: Mastering Variance & Volatility Swaps with NxCore Python
In today’s high-stakes marketplace, volatility has emerged as more than a metric—it’s a strategic indicator. With inflation swings, shifting monetary policy, and geopolitical tensions clouding the outlook, more investors are turning to volatility as a core input into their risk strategies.
In this on-demand webinar, we explore how volatility and variance swaps are being used to navigate turbulence, generate alpha, and enhance execution when traditional derivatives fall short. Numerix’s Owen Rooney breaks down key use cases and demonstrates how to implement these strategies using Numerix CrossAsset analytics and NxCore Python.
Navigating Volatile Markets: Trading & Modeling Volatility
With macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty abounding, many traders and portfolio managers are currently trading – or exploring how to trade – volatility as an asset class in its own right. Changes in volatility (“vol”) levels, vol regimes, skew dynamics, vol of vol, and vol surface dislocations present both risk and opportunity to those who wade into this exciting terrain.
But modeling volatility is not necessarily easy, and most variance and volatility products require sophisticated modeling to capture market behavior that cannot be addressed by replication-based approaches. In this on-demand webinar, Dr. Ping Sun of Numerix provides an expert quantitative perspective on modeling and trading volatility—invaluable for volatility traders, portfolio managers, and quantitative professionals practicing in this domain.
